Whisper softly to me my love
The words of redemption you know I long to hear
Make all the angels above
Enhance our hopes and make our doubts disappear
Innocents of the dawn dance to the midnight song
We wrote on the tomb of hate
So take my heart and bless it with a prayer so strong
That no power could desecrate
Your tears heal those that burn in flaming streams
Those messages of sacred love silence all screams
I denounce all sadistic prophets of forbidden pleasure
For they have no touch that I could treasure
You hold the scroll of my destiny on this dying land
For you are persecuted redeemer and I am at your command
If our dreams of paradise fail
I know that your holy blood with be the ultimate sacrifice
Only flesh to the torturers will prevail
In opening the eyes of those who worship the gods of violence and vice
I hear the calls of the sun and moon for man to taste
The fruits of love and pain
Until the last plea has been ignored and the last kiss gone to waste
Will the final priest of agony be slain
Your tears heal those that burn in flaming streams
Those messages of sacred love silence all screams
I denounce all sadistic prophets of forbidden pleasure
For they have no touch that I could treasure
You hold the scroll of my destiny on this dying land
For you are persecuted redeemer and I am at your command
The commandments of our love are written in earth
Over the buried saints that once bathed our wounds
When all is lost there will be left only gold with no worth
And memories of unhappiness on crumbling runes
Your tears heal those that burn in flaming streams
Those messages of sacred love silence all screams
I denounce all sadistic prophets of forbidden pleasure
For they have no touch that I could treasure
You hold the scroll of my destiny on this dying land
For you are persecuted redeemer and I am at your command

Our church is not of silver and gold. Our church is of cigarettes, bedsheets, guitars, embraces and beauty. My heart will never stop worshiping.

I truly enjoyed this read. I liked the emotional bond here. But, a dark bond, you don't see that too often.
