Eyes In The Veil

I... can see the eyes
Staring from the other side
Scarred and faceless
Blessed with the devil’s kiss
They... are like black orbs
Eternal, always craving more
Perverted flesh
Caressing your last breath

Eyes in the veil
What are these creatures?
Eyes in the veil
Vampiric in nature
Reach through the veil
Gray and leprous
Things in the veil
Devour all that's left

In... my bleeding mind
Nightmares twisting what you find
Broken childhood
Godhood denied all that should
Come... to pass, I swear
What are those voices I hear?
They speak to me
Through those black eyes, you see?

Eyes in the veil
Familiar faces
Eyes in the veil
are deranged and graceless
Speak through the veil
Unpleasant times
Things in the veil
Tis damnation is mine

They come to me
Like an everlasting dream
And when I sleep
Nothing is what it seems
Long lost loved ones
That will never forget
Hearts ceased to burn
And withered ‘til they were dead

My... life is forfeit
Curses spit and tears are spent
On feelings loose
In ghosts swinging from the noose
Left... behind in this
Hell on earth, did not wish this
Cut deep inside
Maybe they’ll get me this time

Eyes in the veil
Are always lurking
Eyes in the veil
Limbs are always stirring
Grasp through the veil
At my sanity
Things in the veil
Leave me on my knees

Eyes in the veil
What are these creatures?
Eyes in the veil
Vampiric in nature
Reach through the veil
The ghosts of the past
Things in the veil
They take until the last
Drop spills
