lyrics
Verse
I leave the dawn behind me,
Beyond the dusk I find my way.
The path that lies before me now,
I bid farewell to old ways.
The law of god’s creation,
A decree which no longer holds
This being that is not a man,
And yet is not a beast.
Pre chorus
Blood flows cold through my veins
Are those eyes mine, have they changed?
Verse 2
Vitality within you,
A crimson force so enticing.
The only way to satiate
The hunger of a fiend.
Pre chorus 2
Look into my eyes and
Fall to my charm, you’re all mine.
In this embrace we are
One at last in your final death knell.
Chorus
Born into the chaos of a world built on disorder,
When a life so fragile wanes, is each breath taken in vain?
We must all find our place, in this cruel savage garden.
Beauty exists within fleeting moments between kindred
Get my pleasure from your pain, and to me you do the same.
Savage beings we be, in this garden we play in.
Verse
The tides, they're flowing past me. Adrift within the sea of time. This gift that binds me to the
dark, my human life is no more.
Verse 2
Mortality’s restrictions,
I left their shackles far behind.
Though my doubts may never fade,
My nature guides my way.
Pre chorus 2
Chorus
Bridge
Please, don’t leave me be.
The wear of years takes its toll, you
Must face it with me.
Against the citadel of time.
Bridge 2
I assert my will
To preserve my sense of self.
I'll defy your rules.
I’ll poke the sleeping dragon.
Chorus
Chorus 2
By the moon my life illuminated,
From the shadow I watch as the world passes by,
A relic of times long gone, an old world evil.
I continue to prey upon these humans I love so.
Though unnatural, my existence continues.
With this dark gift I have wandered the years.
But I know just beyond lies the abyss I glimpsed
From our conversation when nothing else at all mattered.
End
A dark angel flourishes in this savage garden. Amen.
