Black Dawn

Anguish in the form of flesh and bone
Came to me amidst the
Blackest dawn

As beauty unmasked
The shade of falling night
Lips to bare the poisonous kiss
Three words hold venom the serpent bites
By curiosity weakened
Like roses in the winter morn
Forever scarred by a lover's trust
I find shade in shallow grave
Of shame and guilt
Of shame and guilt

Promises: Scars on the wrists of faith
Memories nourish the maggots
That infest this hollow grave
Promises: Scars on the wrists of faith
Memories nourish the maggots
That infest this hollow grave

You destroy all I am
I become nothing
You destroy all I am
I become nothing

The cold and ageless
Hands of denial
Hold me close caressing scars of a lovers trust
Hollow words chosen wisely
Drew me closer
Impaled by this dagger
I was lost
Inside the tomb where truth is revealed
An unholy revelation
To accept the love of another
Is to accept strangulation

There is nothing in this world for me
There is nothing in this world for me
There is nothing in this world for me
There is nothing in this world for me

Promises: Scars on the wrists of faith
Memories nourish the maggots
That infest this hollow grave
Promises: Scars on the wrists of faith
Memories nourish the maggots
That infest this hollow grave
