It's living that's harder to do
Especially having to live, without you
Black wing angel frigid in night
Purged of happiness, lost in fright
Of humbled rebellion gone so wrong
So I sing to you my black wing song
Love is bitter to taste
As blood is thickened in envious haste
Alone we will die in a world not our own
Never excepting this place we call home
Arrival of death
Quick and assured
To realize what was produced
Was endlessly cured
In heavy salt, wrinkled and old
A story so plaquered, empty and told
Grey upon a colorful palatte
Simple, trivial, disgusting ballot
Still until time ends our fate
We find our friends in wait
Agony tussled in flight and despair
My black wing angel, wait for me there
