Don't ever let go...

Paint your face all black and white
A harlequin monster to walk the night
and Shadowwork your deepest fears

A puppet in the master's hand
To rape and burn in this forever land
Your soul to cry, choke back the tears

Open your eyes
And breathe in the hatred
Swallow the lies
And swim in abasement
But don't ever let go of me

Wine like blood spill down your throat
You're lost like love, forlorn and remote
And viscious dreams play into desire

Flaming tongues scream out your name
