Seeping shadows fill your eyes
As you embrace the hollow being
Plucking these feathers from your wings
You've lost the right to bear them
Holding you towards the sun
As I slowly shrunk in the shadows
Surviving on my own whilst the sun falls
As you stare at me with empty eyes
Those that refuse to care
Put me to sleep my angel
Or fall asleep yourself
For my body is slowly breaking
As my eyes turn hollow
And my mind but an empty shell
I surrender you to the darkness
For they need you more
Your selfish being and your heartless demise
Can only be accepted there
Stand tall for the last time
As I hold this shadow in my hands
Let me infect you with the disease
That I have have yet to bear
Born within my evil mind
You will carry it to glory
Lie amongst the desert skies
As your breath becomes rapid
You won't need your wings as much as I
For my guardian angel, you are but sleeping
