Each night I wake
But not for long
A fleeting face
A fading song
The dark returns
The dream begins
And I forget before it ends
I hold a name I cannot keep
It slips away
It sinks too deep
And still I whisper, through the grey:
Love me now, before I fade away

Screaming skyward to curse the dawn
Longing for the darkness of the night she haunts
Blinding bright, mourning blight
Oh how I burn for eternal night
Etch my name in sacred stone
And cast my love in blade and bone
Sweetest shadows, tear and writhe,
'Til death itself becomes my bride

The stars all burn, but not for me
I grieve for things I could not be
I reach for hands I used to know
My love forsaken so long ago
The warmth I crave slipping through the seams
An echo etched into a fever dream
And yet I call from beyond the grave:
Love me now, before I fade away

Shun the light, embrace the night
A splash of scarlet to stain the white
Although I failed to set you free
I give my solemn promise I will never leave
Draw the blade across my throat
That my love should never be alone
Blood-bereft, now all that's left:
To lie beside you and embrace my death

They say:
That we must bend, or we will break
But I would rather burn for beauty's sake
I'd rather shatter from the pain
And I would sell my soul...
If only I could know your name.
If only I could know your name.
