Lamia -

The ebony sky above, boasts a blood red moon

Awakened from my slumber, I am drawn to thoughts of you

The forests whisper, crescendos to a swell

Her angelic voice, it beckons me to follow her at will

My tragic paragon, you’ve risen from the dead

My love has returned and walks amongst us once again

Her wondrous gaze, replaced by hate

Her touch hath turned to cold

Unflinchingly embracing me and latching to my soul

Enchanted by illusion, my senses fully numbed

Conspire with the demoness, as she feasts upon my blood

Lain upon her alter, broken, seduced by her touch

The damsel was a charlatan, intentions masked by «love»

And I’ll let you lure me…

For I’m to blind to see

I’ll let you lure me…

For I can’t see

Fingers sunken deep within and clasping to my heart

As I smile and let you in, to tear my world apart

I gaze past your disguise

I’ve meant nothing from the start

I smile and let you in

To tear my world apart

I loathe the sight of you

Foul, wretched being, reviled

Reciting caustic scripture

Simply longing for my suffering

I loathe the sight of you

Foul, wretched being, reviled

Enchanted by illusion, my senses fully numbed

Conspire with the demoness, as she feasts upon my blood

I shall escape this trap that you have woven

Your clutches loosen, your gaze is broken

Flee for redemption before I am lost

My own sedition, your battle is lost

Acts of cruelty

Sights unimagined

Bound and contorted

How could this happen?
