The Dark Tower

On the wings of fallen angels 
   We fly above the sinking sun 
     Towards the tower so dark and so inviting.  
Inside the tower we find ourselves alone 
   And bathed in candlelight.  
      There's a table with wine, as dark red 
         As the blood burning in my veins. 
 We drink, and as we do the sound of 
   Nightwish fills the room from nowhere.  
You in leather and me in velvet.  
   We drink and dance while the candle's light 
      Dances over our skin.  
As we collapse into a gentle, yet fiery, 
   Passionate embrace, the candle's flame 
      Flickers and flares.  
Our passion feeds the flame 
   That gives us our guiding light.  
And yet, as you carry me to the bed, 
   The candle's light grows dim 
      So as our passion can be our own 
         And for no one else's prying eyes.  
The darkness wraps us in 
   Its velvety blackness as we fill it 
      With our desire.
