My forbidden desire   Shone deeply within mine eyes   Archaic visions awakened   Hidden beneath forgotten memories   Seemingly endless phantoms   Parading   Devilish apparitions   Dance amidst the folly   Of my sleeping drama   I hear their cries   Bathing in moonlight   This lascivious breed I scorn   My raven skies embellished   With traces of bloodless depravity   I speak of celestial adoration   Divine lamentation   And tears of infinite mourning...   My utopia do I cover   And hate being my truest form of love   My nemesis unmasked   My own face do I see      Torn in silence   I hath seen the majestic beauty   Of darkened landscapes and ivory gates   O what fools can they not see I am lost   Endless battles they fight for my soul   No pity, no comfort do I now ask   Let me suffer alone in my own misery   My children shall never abandon me   Poor souls can they not see they are mine   A dying rose do I now give to each of them   An eternity of my love and death   Ornamental disgrace as they envision   Their dying savior before me   As his children to forever become mine      Ashen mortality   A faceless entity within them   How is it that I feel   Their saddened wishes?   Time passes... dreams die...   And I silently kiss away their lives
