The Embrace

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 storm clouds 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
