Crimson the taint of my heart
Black is the depth of thy soul
Blood, the medium of our unity
In its shade our love shall unfold
-
Our violent passions raging
Trying so hard to resist
Fallen at last, to be victims
To that bloodstained final kiss
-
That binds us, a slave to the murder
Addicted, though inside we die
How many must die, how much further
Must we play this charade you and I?
-
Pretending that life is worth living
When each night we steal life away
And the only thing, that this night is bringing
Is fear to our ignorant prey...
Author notes
A myth trying to expose its true nature
Trying to remove the romantic notions surruonding it
But was the attempt successful?
Enjoy...
