"Child of Ravens II"

Oh for the Child of Ravens

the worlds have stopped to turn

He's been given a firestone

to let his cold heart burn

And blue eyes sky-splinters falling

he's sweeter sin that death

A pale-skinned seduction in darkness

all the dreams you ever had

Is there a devil with a softer smile?

Corruption in beauty and scars

He smiles with a razor blade sweetness

and a madness older than stars

I looked at the Child of Ravens

and Heavens Forgive! I loved!

I've sold my soul for a nightmare

and still don't dream often enough

-end-
