Sick and defined by a void of darkness,
Weak and reviled by Your poison words-
A life's that's incepted in night,
I'm worn by the beams of Your light...

An onrushing fear that burns through my veins-
I feel You in my every breath.
The blood that I shed to taste my demise
I drink in Your prison of death.

Can't see through the veil that's blinding my soul,
I'm birthed to ail for the life that they stole-
Engraved in the palm of Your hand, but now...
Reveal me my role... I quiver in dole...

Hold me when I'm broken, hold me when you're down,
When fleeting sorrow shades our eyes with painful memories...
A night's escape we'll dream together
Into a land of love,
Sweet lullabies we'll hear forever
Sung in a bliss above...

No worldly one shall stand against us
When we're alone at evening,
Oh don't you see how you are my beloved
When ruby rays are raining down in stillness...

Don't wake me up, my dear, don't go alone back home,
Do not tremble in fear, forest will be our dome...
But gently take my hand and lead me to nowhere,...

Bewildered by the smile of shadows,
Enthralled by its dark beauty,
You step outside life's narrow path,
You're at the gates of death.

The wolves that hid behind your back
Are howling to the moon.
The day turns black, the night defines
Your predestined demise.

A sea of fire's overtaking,
You dwell in cold perdition,
Your punishment is swift to come,
Your death is now awaking...

Be as honest as you can be in your criticism or praise. Thanks.
