Setting sun
A night of torment again,
Humanity fades
The beast rears from within.
My resistance fails
Powerless to fight this,
I give into lust, into desire
As my cravings begin.

This nightmare
This broken dream I stalk,
Has shattered again
With the scream I awoke.
This sin lies afresh
As a new silence descends
And my refreshed guilt
Adds to this life that I broke.

Now I savour
This moment of bliss,
The thrill of salvation
From this crimson kiss.
It cannot last
The truth will prevail,
As my conscience breaks
Lying broken in my fist.

Aimlessly lost
In my souls damnation,
Lost in this limbo
Between despair and elation.
This ecstasy I drew
With each fading pulse
Is ebbing away
As I fight this addiction.

Maybe someday
I'll break this obsession,
I'll leave this life
And seek my redemption.
But until that day
I'll feed my remorse,
Until my soul revives
And brings my resurrection.
