Death parades outside my door,
Casting its shadows all the more.
Dreams manifested through reality,
Always driven to suffocate me.

Glimpse into my life,
Always full of strife.
Voices chanting inside my head,
Consuming the parasites until they're all dead.

Take me,
Break me,
Toy me,
Destroy me,

Antogonizing insults thrown my way,
Only making me wish to stay.
Staying here ever longer,
With every hit making me stronger.

They will hear my cry,
As they fall from the sky.
Burned at the stake full of pity,
As I destroy what's left of their city.

Consume me,
Doom me,
Feel me,
Kill me.

This heart of mine on a platter for your dish,
Though black and cold, it's yours if you wish.
Maintaining chaos in a life of Hell,
No love for me to some I tell.

Rip out my eyes,
Muffle my cries,
Sever my soul,
And take my whole.

Dive for me,
Strive for me,
Unchain me,
And rain down your love for me.

I fall short, but you come to my aid?
Is there some sort of deal to be made?
What is this of which you speak?
It's not only for the weak?

You want me to give my love?
Then swear an oath to the One above,
Saying you'll never obliterate me,
Saying You'll have unconditional love for thee.

Keep me,
Reap me,
Sow me,
Grow me.

The Reaper comes closer everyday,
As these lifetimes fade away.
Passing is easier since I have you,
And here I'll be for you too.

Life halting, but it's not the end.
You can hear my voice within the wind.
Days pass, but keep track.
I'll find the secret of how to come back.

Slay me,
Lay me,
Earth me,
Rebirth me....

I am NOW here.
To stay your every tear,
To calm your every fear,
And always to live death through with you dear.

Blacker than night, I hold this art,
And forever mascerading my newborn heart.
A gift to show the gawking crows,
A single enduring Black Rose.
