"Such fragile light but it strengthens me

While losing site of reality

My will to live and my sanity

Are lost in these dreams

And these days I wake up in sheets

Of velvet far too red

With dreams of murderous intent

My victims are always dead

I haven't felt my heart beat in far too long

My complexion is bleak and my reflection's all gone

Pray for my salvation

Because I'd like to take my life

If I could

But I'll never get that chance again

My benediction was the day you understood

These black wings manifest of sin

And it broke your heart

And you fell apart

Sorry I don't know what to say

Too bad it had to be this way

Too bad it had to end this way

I'm not alive

But this isn't death

I'm never quite free from this pain

How quiet now when there's nothing left

Your heart beats with every breath

Your warmth surrounds and it burns in me

My wings turn white and my chains set free

I'll hold you close and I'll let you see

The beauty in such tragedy"
