lyrics

A Body Built By Blood

My hand grips the edges
of the coffin, blood trickles
down into the ground.
My eyes are finally opened.
Eternity found.
Where once I craved death,
now I merely yearn for that
sweet sanguine liquid
which runs through your bones.

Reborn, I now feel whole,
the moon beckoning to me.
Its mistress, the sun,
was never a friend to me.

She'd hide among the clouds
leaving darkness in her wake,
and no matter how I begged,
the shadows I could not shake.

So trapped I felt in my mortal body,
longing for the end,
when really all I needed
was to start again.

I bring your flesh to my lips,
as I hear your final moan
You reach out to my face,
begging me to let go.
"You will return to the earth,"
I whisper in your ear,
as your eyes roll back in your head,
no longer filled with fear.

On the brink of the following night,
you will return to me,
a blood-starved, gasping specter,
longing for reprieve.
