the fire cast it?s 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 trips

i don?t have the answer

and you don?t need to know

sundown over the wastelands

echoes from below
