the fire cast its shadow
tounges caught in the night
never to be captured

never to see the light
rejected all salvation
a thorn in every hand

dark is the devotion
pearls lost in the sand


how I wish I knew it then
feel evil crawl in
embracing me again


you know I'm all but sorry
your cold caress can't heal me

this hurt is mine alone
a cancer growing in my bones
would you face the struggle?

see it just as I?
or forever close your eyes
and let the stormclouds pass on by


a slave to my desire
crimson honey on my lips

order of the process
dead red passion trip
I don't have the answer

and you don't need to know
sundown over the wastelands
echoes from below

and now it has been done
