I've knelt at your alter   I've cut out my heart   I've lived in your ruins   My pain is your art      My wrists are bound tight so as not to bleed   My eyes were so dark so as not to see   The memories of the past are fading like a bad dream      I've never been so alone than with you   I've never been scared to dream until now   I can't close my eyes   I'll carry on, screaming   Your words are like ice   They melt in the heat      The cold and the pain which you seem to breed   Have become what you are and left your ruins empty
