Wolvesblood 02:28
Lupus Cruor hardens the veins a thousand knives have failed to slay. To the best the boys betrayed as the howling stalk the falling day. To seven serpents I am chained, dragged behind my souls decay. All empathy it slips away as the Wolvesblood calls and has its way. I warn you the battle is over, the heart that you seek is no more. No love, no hope of curing what I have embraced with open arms. Now I seek no shelter nor the warmth of home. I have shed all human failings And made a kingdom in the cold. Countless days in numbing cold until painless hours steeled my soul. Awash in flesh and greed I bowed, And stood anew with iron bones. Your arms that take, invertebrate. The venom killed all hope for me. You only hurt the ones you love so I'll take my heart and rip it out.

Lilith 02:12
A thousand days in numbing cold And you are warm. But I let go. She is a starless sky over my endless night, And you are bright. But I let go. There is no weight to my tired soul, I drift away. And you are the rope You are heaven sent but I cannot ascend. I am blind, shroud of black. You are oxygen/ she is a heart attack. The warmth it shocks knowing only cold. And you cant know peace never knowing home. That part is dead, the prize you seek. The tower tall and the boy was weak. I lift my gaze to your crying eyes But my fate is sealed, I am denied. To cut that piece from my brain Where her taste and smell lies in wait. The shadowed halls of my mind The castle is a tomb and the throne is mine. I've long forgotten life outside. A rising sun only burns my eyes. Skins gone pale, I'm the king of night. Drag my chains, I don't live or die. I am bound to this place now cold and grey. A thousand days in numbing cold and she was warm. But I let go. You are a starless sky over my endless night. And she was bright. There is no weight/ tired soul You are a noose, she was a rope. She was heaven sent but I descend.

I will not be saved, nothing remains anyway. I struggle to recall the anchors of the soul To feel human at all I don't want to be this way I wish nothing more than to leave this place But now I fear we are as one This void, this hell That I have become. Their voices call for me A light through the storm as I'm lost at sea At last free I am free of pain. With nothing left to fill my rotting veins. Now here I stand at my strongest ever. This lifeless land. I am God here.

It's getting late It's getting dark In the end of the night I can feel your warmth Come up close Close to me Cause In the end of the night I can feel you breathe Don't be afraid Don't be alarmed In the end of the night you're in my arms I'm on my bed My bed of stones But in the end of the night we'll rest our bones So don't you worry Just rest your head Cause in the end of the night we'll be together again You don't need to worry I'll make your bed And in the end of the night I can hold your hand So come close, close to me And I'll come closer to you Cause in the end of the night when all we have is gone Yes in the end of the night when I can be with you
