Sickness! I'll hold on...

Sickness, be me!
I can’t bear you so close…
Sickness, free me!
It’s you I chose…

A hundred lies and more,
Each day and every dying dusk,
Plague me, rip me, leave me unsure
Of all but that in you I trust…

Sickness, see me!
I’m blacker than midnight blue…
Sickness, free me!
For all I have is you…

The rivers that winked in the moon
Wink still, but bleed no faith
And the angels that used to swoon
To whims, writhe resting now in wraiths…

So sickness, empty me!
Drink from my deserts of rain…
Sickness, oh sickness, free me!
These shackles only pretend of pain…

Undressed by you I shiver through
Nights that spoke of oneness once…
Naked yet dressed in crimson hues,
I wait in wake of the million suns…

Feel me, my love, feel me till I die
Be there from dawn to dawn
Kiss me, cut me, get me screaming high
To you, undead, and I’ll always hold on…
