waltz

I know it'll have an end
my angel of death
all the comfort, all the warmth
the safety of your arms
will fade into oblivion
soon

I know you'll kiss my life away
so dance with me today
shadows of the dark
ignite a dying spark

I know I have my demons to feed
yet I let my passion bleed
memories of you
in blue
I followed you into the ocean's depth
sought to touch your last breath

I know a ghost's pursue

would kill me before you

danced with me at long last
empty spirits of a forgotten past

I know my feelings would rot

before I woke up

still life's pulsing through my veins
and I let slip I'm in chains
I know this waltz would crumble
there's no light at the end of the tunnel
yet beneath the sounds of anguish
there's a wish

to dance with me veiled within screams
silhouettes of shredded dreams
dance with me till the end

my angel of death
