Sleeping within a blackened shell
I can't see beyond my personal hell
it seems that every day I'm only nearer
the fire within that makes me fear her

It's not like I wanted to fall
(grace is only a dream)
It's not like I wanted to feel
(sacrifice is the only scheme)
I could never get away intact
(always leaving a part of me)
always leaving behind a part of me

With blood comes pain, life infernal
the kiss of death is all eternal
and although her kiss makes life immortal
I'm afraid to step beyond the portal

It's not like I wanted to fall
(grace is only a dream)
It's not like I wanted to feel
(sacrifice is the only scheme)
I could never get away intact
(always leaving a part of me)
always leaving behind a part of me

Fluid injection was my gift to her
a parting kiss that I would confer
Was it only that it was a beast inside
burning me with an evil tide

(solo)

It's not like I wanted to fall
(grace is only a dream)
It's not like I wanted to feel
(sacrifice is the only scheme)
I could never get away intact
(always leaving a part of me)
always leaving behind a part of me

Burning demons carry me away
to a place inside where I must pay
for the darkness that I gave to woman
when she drank of me and knew destruction
