Final Act

I can recall our dark romance
Across the floor you slowly danced
To the music I spied, you swayed
As wolves howled out their serenade
Under stars with moon light bright
I swore to thee with sacrifice
A child of god, so pure and chaste
I keep you held in dark embrace

No more pawn, I can quell the suffering
I'll take you to the place of blood and light
To watch you beg, to feel you slip away
To be cold, empty, lifeless, blind

Tasting venom from my tongue
Nothing left but the vengeance
Poisoned spit upon your lips
My final act of revenge

I've longed for thee, through night and day
Spilled blood and watched dreams fade
Felt the coldness of your breath
Denied christ and swallowed death

For I am the dark, the one that you fear
I am chosen to hold your dead flesh near
Stagnant your heart, rotting in my hands
Beyond sorrow, razors understand
