Heartsblood

Running into the velvet star of history

I place the frost-bourne cup on the windowsill

Close my breath in hope of meeting you here

Shut my frozen lips and melt the ice

Filling the sky with ambers, raining hard upon me

Touch the holy grail of lightning

And forsake all to know your heart

Wrapping the tattered rags across my thin shoulders

Jewel glistening in the night, carved of false glass

Yet firmly crying out the ruthless truth

Spreading secrets of painted ivory lies and black sand

Careful to place in power the magic hollow mirror

Of a glossy raven eye, peering boldly, seeking

And a hidden silk-spun desire, driven to madness

Vast, gaping wound no gem can cover

Save the one that stole my heartsblood

And with it, all my shattered soul

To haunt your every dream

And guard your every nightmare
