Deadly Song

You know the light bends
pain goes straight to the point
the blackest sea and the darkest sky blends
till you can hardly see their joint.
You know time is nothing
but an eerie transitional toy
It will bury all things
that we cannot destroy
Now lie beside me in this unearthly dream
Now lie beside me in this haunted room
Now lie beside me endlessly
between the dingy glitter
and the dazzling gloom
and kiss me deadly
one more time.
You know there's nobody in the crowd
one too many phantoms in our solitude
the winds murmur our names aloud
when alien shadows roam in the wood
and there are no more comforting hollow words
only your stone-cold black lips
strange memories sliding forward
with no ominous time left to keep
Now lie beside me in this unearthly dream
Now lie beside me in this haunted room
Now lie beside me endlessly
between the dingy glitter
and the dazzling gloom
and kiss me deadly one more time.
