Lyrics

Those eyes, like pits of damnation. like orbs of black steel. I stare into them and I am lost. my mind screams for release panic, flight!!! but my body does not respond. I can not move. his caress lingers on my face for a heartbeat and then his fingers drift around my neck, so gentle. they offer me no mercy. like a wolf he pounces, his fangs rake across my throat and pierce my skin. why can I scream? a blaze of heat: rapture. he licks at my essence as it pours from my gullet, then begins to suck. I cling to him like a drowning sailor, like a lover. my rock. my fire. my lust. my senses spin into the night, reaching out for solid ground. I clutch at the lapel of his cloak. if there is a heaven, I pray I go there if there is a hell, I know I am there now. I feel my life slipping away. my eyes are burning, I let out one last moan shooting out the darkness and pain, I rise up, leaving my twisting and heaving body. I feel my life slipping away, my eyes are burning, having this torment my life blood will burn!!! the last sand falls through the hourglass, it is calm here; I am at peace. this be death, the unmaking... heat!!! pain!!! confusion!!! I smell bitterness, the cold fragrance wrenches my soul from its rest. he holds his wrist toward me oozing life, its red gleam beckons to me. I know but one thing: I must drink to live. like an animal, I lunge. greedily I suck at his skin. the hot liquor caresses my mouth. I welcome to its warmth. nerves given up for dead return to painful vitality. I try to scream. the life flow continues unabated, filling me. what have I become? with a cry, I grasp wildly for the sours of life. it is gone. I collapse to the floor. the crash of broken glass resound somewhere nearby. I am alone. with the gift of life still heavy in my stomach, I sink into the realm of nightmares. the pain becomes ecstasy, such exquisite, living agony. we become one, as death!
