- - - MACABRE MASQUERADE- - -

Placid waters absolve the nights
Of animalistic cravings
Ghosts still visit me
With eternal offerings

I create the void
Between deviants
Absolution
My name in your laments

Hollow heirlooms remembering
Days long dead with no single care
When time's left for worms
In worlds beyond all repair

Love me not for my masquerade
Hate me so for this dance macabre
Never fall when angels invade
Drown inside the blood of mirage

Stand, surely, at the precipice
And witness the swarm far below
Ritual feedings
To sate the faceless shadow

All you see are eyes
Suffer, remember
Desolation
At last, we dismember

Carving your name in dying trees
So I'll not forget for a time
Those lingering bones
Shall, forever, be mine

Love me not for my masquerade
Hate me so for this dance macabre
Never fall when angels invade
Drown inside the blood of mirage

Lightning strikes your tombstone
And rings great secret song
Like the sweetest lullabye
A place in time with my alibi

I won't say

goodnight

Love me not for my masquerade
Hate me so for this dance macabre
Never fall when angels invade
Drown inside the blood of mirage
