DEAD AND GONE
I’ve apologized and crucified with words a thousand times
To your empty chair in the corner where you sharpened the dagger
That agonized and purified our star crossed lover crimes
The unknown of tomorrow
Cannot overshadow the shroud of sorrow
Hand in hand and dead by dawn
Will they find us entombed in the grave dug for two
‘Neath eternal night’s rule
Dust to dust when we’re dead and gone
I feel your ghost haunting the blackened chambers of my heart
Everyone but me knew that I was dead from the fucking start
Ensnared in your widow’s web just to succumb to your spell
The devil is in the details, thus our contract of splendid Hell
I have demonized and pacified all the voices inside
But the dead monster in the mirror has been starved as a beggar
Cannibalize and bastardize this hellbound heart black rhyme
I’ve apologized and crucified with words a thousand times
To your empty chair in the corner where you sharpened the dagger
That agonized and purified our star crossed lover crimes
Love me tender or drive the stake into my deathless chest
As you seize my heart with talons and hold it dearly to your breasts
A gust of winter wind among the tolling of the bell
And raise the sacrifice within the tomb from whence we dwell
The rebirth of primeval
Writhing in the abyss to feed the evil
Hand in hand and dead by dawn
Malice in wonderland, graveyard fairy song
‘Neath infernal night’s bones
Dust to dust when we’re dead and gone
I have demonized and pacified all the voices inside
But the dead monster in the mirror has been starved as a beggar
Cannibalize and bastardize this hellbound heart black rhyme
I’ve apologized and crucified with words a thousand times
To your empty chair in the corner where you sharpened the dagger
That agonized and purified our star crossed lover crimes
We belong together
Forever
Like a rose to the thorn
We belong, remembered
The severed
Like a corpse to the grave
I have demonized and pacified all the voices inside
But the dead monster in the mirror has been starved as a beggar
