|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Soulless |
|
|
|
Tender kisses |
|
|
|
Warm embraces |
|
|
|
Have but in my memories disappeared |
|
|
|
The angel that once enthralled me |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Is the one that I now fear. |
|
|
|
|
|
I can no longer find her |
|
|
|
|
|
In the regions of my heart |
|
|
|
|
|
She has vanished into the night |
|
|
|
Without a word of her departure |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
She has left me here in anguished plight. |
|
|
|
|
|
Under the darkness of the night sky |
|
|
|
|
|
My tormented heart cries: |
|
|
|
|
|
"Oh return to me love tender, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
This heart for you beats cold |
|
|
|
Come and take this soul which I surrender" |
|
|
|
My pain and angst burn through me |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Like crimson flames ablaze |
|
|
|
|
|
Self loathing fuels the fires |
|
|
|
|
|
That consume my mournful heart |
|
|
|
|
|
As she sits quietly and admires... |
|
|
|
|
|
Through the darkness I can see her |
|
|
|
Eyes so black and empty. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
She stands amidst the flames and smoke |
|
|
|
|
|
Hearing my beleaguered cries |
|
|
|
|
|
Indifferent to the love I so daringly invoke. |
|
|
|
|
|
Her sweet scent surrounds me |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Her silences invades my mind. |
|
|
|
For a moment all isl serene, |
|
|
|
For a moment I almost forgot.... |
|
|
|
Until before me stood this fiend . |
|
|
|
She stroked my flaming cheek |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
With her once so gentle hands. |
|
|
|
|
|
Hands that now serve a soulless purpose. |
|
|
|
|
|
She whispered silence into my ear |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Silence that but skimmed the surface. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
She looked deeply into my eyes |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I quivered at the absence of her soul. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Oh my despair to see her void of life, |
|
|
|
|
|
Where had my beloved lost herself? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
She gained eternity, but at what price? |
|
|
|
Had she come for me now as well? |
|
|
|
Oh be still my gentle heart! |
|
|
|
Shall I follow my love into shadows, |
|
|
|
Searching for misery to make comfort, |
|
|
|
Finding pleasure in mystical gallows? |
|
|
|
She holds me tightly now |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
I can feel the coldness of her skin. |
|
|
|
|
|
She lays her hand on my chest |
|
|
|
|
|
Craving what lies beneath. |
|
|
|
The life she wishes to infest. |
|
|
|
She so resembles the love I knew, |
|
|
|
Yet my heart screams "be gone foul imposter!" |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
My love would never harm me, |
|
|
|
|
|
Yet this creature cares for none. |
|
|
|
|
|
Still, I do not long to be set free. |
|
|
|
|
|
Since my love has left me, |
|
|
|
|
|
Since she wandered into lustful greed. |
|
|
|
|
|
I have been tormented by her memory. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
If this creature is what consumed her |
|
|
|
Then I beg that she also consume me. |
|
|
|
I can no longer bear this burden, |
|
|
|
My strength has all but failed. |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Nothing stands between death and I |
|
|
|
|
|
But these bitter memories of her |
|
|
|
|
|
The image I will see before I die. |
|
|
|
|
|
I have offered myself to her, |
|
|
|
|
|
She has come to answer my pleas. |
|
|
|
|
|
There in the darkness she'll consume me |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And forever creatures of the night we shall be |
|
 |
|
|
|
