INFERNAL HEARTBREAK AND MORDANT TEARS
This Christmas chills
A cold fire in my bones
Her gasping words
Damn like an infernal song
On sodden leaves
I'm dying from this heartbreak
infernal
Black candles burn
Silent vigil 'til she wakes
Her open tomb
Invites me to the abyss
infernal
I can see her
Just as sweet as our last kiss
I would find you in the abyss
For one last kiss
I taste the air
I almost taste red wine and
infernal
Clove cigarettes
That lingered on her lips, goddamn
This lonely knight
Cypress limbs holding so dear
infernal
Her poetry
That drown me in mordant tears
soak in the sadness
embrace the darkness
"O, Raven, this is all for you
Your promise ring and from the
Your gifted vial of precious blood
One drop of sanguine life I chant
Your name, desperately.
Raven
Raven
Raven
Raven."
With wracking sobs
I utter an ancient spell
infernal
My grasping hands
Would claw through corpses in Hell
Caress dead skin
As cold as a murder knife
infernal
And something stirs
Beneath the flesh breathing life
I would find you in the abyss
For one last kiss
And then in the shadow of the full moon
Winter wind chills my heart and kills the light
A shuddering breath wracks through her body
She stirs in dead leaves and rises from death
A cold fire in my bones
Her gasping words
Damn like an infernal song
On sodden leaves
I'm dying from this heartbreak
infernal
Black candles burn
Silent vigil 'til she wakes
Her open tomb
Invites me to the abyss
infernal
I can see her
Just as sweet as our last kiss
I would find you in the abyss
For one last kiss
I taste the air
I almost taste red wine and
infernal
Clove cigarettes
That lingered on her lips, goddamn
This lonely knight
Cypress limbs holding so dear
infernal
Her poetry
That drown me in mordant tears
soak in the sadness
embrace the darkness
"O, Raven, this is all for you
Your promise ring and from the
Your gifted vial of precious blood
One drop of sanguine life I chant
Your name, desperately.
Raven
Raven
Raven
Raven."
With wracking sobs
I utter an ancient spell

Would claw through corpses in Hell
Caress dead skin
As cold as a murder knife

And then in the shadow of the full moon
Winter wind chills my heart and kills the light
A shuddering breath wracks through her body
She stirs in dead leaves and rises from death
