The Cathedral

Welcome to The Cathedral

~~THE STALKER~~

Lurking in the forgotten place
Awaiting pleasures I must never taste
Seeking fruits of forbidden delight
My darkened passion seduces the night
~~
My heart calls out to capture yours
A silhouette figure in the moonlight adorns
Never to touch, yet still I must try
To dance in the meadows with the Dark One's divine
~~

Touch my numb heart; hailed in stone
Give me the death of the Dark One's throne
Taste the disease of my inner whore
That reaps the harvest of my soul's black score
~~
A single strand of golden thread
Seduce the shadows in my head
The faintest radiance escapes the hole
A scratch upon my tarnished soul
~~

Arms outstretched to grasp the light
A beacon in my haunted plight
Falling short, down on one knee
Accepting what I cannot be
~~

Run from the fire that consumes my will
Feast upon the heart that's ill
Patronize my darkened soul
Feast on life 'til death is full
~~

I taste the life which I have not
To numb the pain of breathing rot
Embrace my carnal savagery
Surrender to me, your destiny
