Revival

Once again I have died for love This corpse of a child has wept Now all life has the depth of blood And every boundary is overstepped A dead end into the night As shadows envelop my skin And all subservient dreams of light Are inverted and burned within We surround ourselves with the past Us sleepers of dark descent As we smile we secretly cast Lasting spells that echo the end I can barely contain the night As this silence defines my sins Beyond the blood I feel every light Yet my demon still pulls the strings We are but the poisoned death Revived with the strangest gifts An art that can steal your breath And the courage to not exist Yet I am still alive in this Searching for truth to see How I can be lost in her kiss When my chaos does not agree
