TO HELL WITH HEAVEN

I stand at your tomb, the precipice of my personal apocalypse
The midnightmare ritual sealed forever with a rose and a kiss
I still remember the moon enchanting your silken burial gown
Sorcerous and adorning pale skin haunting chambers of skeletons

I took your hand and held it to my cheek
And cursed from the pits to the highest peaks
I am sorry that I left you here to die
Where my heart still slumbers with you inside
Centuries pass through the empty void of me
Just like a poisoned sword through the enemy
I am sorry I never left your side
Please forgive my trespasses
There is no where left for love to hide

To Hell with Heaven
Because when it rains
In Purgatory
It tastes like your tears

A swansong echoes off weeping walls in draconian precision
I have cut the wrist of hollow life force with diabolical incisions
The haunted moon wanes and the Carpathian cemetery blooms
With symphonies of recently shredded tunes of blasphemous doom

I took your hand and held it to my lips
And wished I couldn't let of our last kiss
Where our vows were made, I left you to die
And my heart still slumbers with you inside
Centuries pass through the empty void of me
Just like a poisoned sword through the enemy
I am sorry I never left your side
Please forgive my trespasses
There is no where left for love to hide

To Hell with Heaven
Because when it rains
In Purgatory
It tastes like your tears
To Hell with Heaven
Because when it rains
In Purgatory
It tastes like your tears

I know I speak to the darkness
Without ever showing my face
This shroud of blame and utter disgrace
You are my method of madness
As I try to relight the blaze
I feel the shame again
As I go up in flame

I took your hand and held it to my cheek
And cursed from the pits to the highest peaks
I am sorry that I left you here to die
Where my heart still slumbers with you inside
Centuries pass through the empty void of me
Just like a poisoned sword through the enemy
I am sorry I never left your side
Please forgive my trespasses
There is no where left for love to hide

To Hell with Heaven
Because when it rains
In Purgatory
It tastes like your tears

I took your hand and held it to my lips
And wished I couldn't let of our last kiss
Where our vows were made, I left you to die
And my heart still slumbers with you inside
Centuries pass through the empty void of me
Just like a poisoned sword through the enemy
I am sorry I never left your side
Please forgive my trespasses
There is no where left for love to hide

To Hell with Heaven
Because when it rains
In Purgatory
It tastes like your tears
To Hell with Heaven
Because when it rains
In Purgatory
It tastes like your tears
