Scarlet Snow

The rays of sun so long forsaken I've stared the abyss right in the eye It looked me back with gaze unshaken And a faint smile The rays of sun so long forsaken I've left the warmth and hailed the night Our love has awakened To devour the last ray of light Frozen and silent lost in the vast nothingness Until I feel a warm fondle skimming gently on my right cheek Until i hear a call from a saccharine voice with a timbre so bittersweet Wake up my love Rise from my father's bed Hear the mourning dove Hear the earsplitting ring of the bell Can you hear its doleful call This is the start rather than the end Rise and shine Grit your teeth for the millionth time Accept the pain she said and proceeded to entwine her tongue with mine Blood has thickened My sight adjusted to this mournful prism I denounced the shimmering light I embraced this bleak defeat I attuned to her darkness And welcomed the void with open arms Those hazel eyes bewitched me Two precious jewels that made the crimson moon look bleached and pale The gale of sorrow stroked me And i relished its cold breeze I adapted to this uphill Feet formed calluses and I can't feel a thing At this winter's eve as scarlet snow begins to peep Let me please crawl and hide 'neath the cracks of your skin I quenched her thirst with my blood Served my flesh for her to feast Washed her locks with my tears And thoroughly laved her feet I held my breath eternally so that she could breath I molded my dreams into a bracelet and offered it as a gift My desires became a necklace to bedeck her neck And my youth became the crown that rested upon her head Only death can tear us apart The rays of sun so long forsaken I've stared the abyss right in the eye It looked me back with gaze unshaken And a faint smile The rays of sun so long forsaken I've left the warmth and hailed the night Our love has awakened To devour the last ray of light
