I, tainted fiend

Withered, cradled by these woes

Hereby reap my sorrows

Writhing as I decompose

I, enslaved by the profane

Bow to demons of guilt

Shackling this soul to shame

So it seems her absence was my bane

The blade that lacks a hilt

Ashes against the grain

In the eye of the storm birthed from the abyss

Ten thousand hymns are heard, hailing depravity

Embracing the last drops of indigo bliss

Amidst such shapelessness, drowning in lunacy

Here I am

Gouging out my eyes

Rotting as the daylight dies

Exorcized of lies

Crucified, I agonize

Crowned king of disdain

As the castle we built

Washed away with the rain

And thus, these tattered remains

Of adoration unfit

Fell into death’s dark domains

Lacking the restraint

To save half of what I am

Adrift in the pain of temptation

The taint of deception

It condemns me to damnation

Gouging out my eyes

Rotting as the daylight dies

Exorcized of lies

Crucified, I agonize

Peace lies in defeat

Hope is now obsolete

A heart’s dire beat

Eternally incomplete

Shattered is all deceit

I submit to my defeat

Shedding two lonely tears

One for each of us, my dear

For the end draws near

And soon both of us will disappear
