Take It Upon Yourself
< Take it upon yourself to remove the stars from heaven.
Take it upon yourself to remove the sun from shining and dry up the ocean blue for your caprice.
Take it upon yourself to ridicule what was given at great cost and not recognize the value of the sacrifice.
Take it upon yourself to thrust the dagger deep into the flesh and watch the rich crimson blood as it flows down against the soft white breast.
Take it upon yourself to gaze into the eyes of your prey as you softly kiss her lips goodbye.
Take it upon yourself as you leave your calling card.
Remove your disguise and show yourself oh prince of darkness, for the light has found you out.
But fear not, your secret is safe with me, I cannot breathe a word, for my heart you have removed.
