Light My Pyre

Heart awake
Shadows of hate
Rise from your memory
Blacken your gaze

Hesitance
Isn't your act to take
I've dug my grave
Build it higher

I can see the end (hands bound)
Atop the burning ground (urn for your bile)
Flames lick my feet
And I scream and you smile

Light my pyre
Set my blood on fire

Strangling me with jealousy
Of every time that
My desire grew limp
And stray I would
With my wandering eyes
You longed to blind them
Blind my sight once and for all

My skin melts away (I'm yours)
Muscle torn and frayed (embraced and scorned)
At last you've
Got what you wanted and
My blood boils for you
For you and you alone

Light my pyre
For passion's lust cannot be mine
The one you'd see
To set my heart afire
And cast my ashes to the sky

Build a mound for me
And bring me to my knees
Before your stubborn love bleeds out

Light my fucking pyre now

The price of love
Too steep for me
And yours fulfilled
Would swallow me whole

End this now
Let me go
Disavow
Break my body
Over branch and stone

Carrion birds
Sick with the rain
That dampens my carcass
Clean my remains

Burned out corpse
I have become
Have faith
My legacy's erased
Charred and broken

Hold you high your head (I'm gone)
And step oe'r the dead (no more your scourge)
But tell me
What of your spirit is left unscathed?

I beg thee

Light my pyre
For passion's lust cannot be mine
The one you'd see
To set my heart afire
And cast my ashes to the sky

Build a mound for me
And bring me to my knees
Before your stubborn love
Bleeds out

Light my fucking pyre now

Rend me limb from limb
And all my flesh from bone
I reap as I have sown
