You begin creeping and crawling in
Charming with words so sweet
Promises you won't keep
We went down to your house
But all of the while a voice was crying
"Run away from this now"
You took my hand, pulled me close
And whispered the honeyed words designed
To hold me under your spell
Just long enough
Black heart proud
I can just see you now
Laughing as we lay down
Ready to wipe me out
Out all night, chasing the dark delight
Kissing me in cold blood
Twisting the truth of love
The perfume of romance, the tender desire
It is all gone now
The madness of moments, the end of the lie
It has all come down
You took what you wanted, you buried the hope
Our struggle is over, but I want you to know
The triumph in your eyes will turn into dread
You see, I'm not dead
Don't stop the fight, I'm still alive
This is the day you die
