With these words scrawled in a severed hand
Tears fall like shards of glass that bend
Swept with me to join the damned
The day that laughter died
And stayed within Her sight
Oh God, how easy now to sacrifice
My life, to have Her with me
So farewell to distant thunder
Those inept stars I've worshipped under
Fall farther, their Father
Lies in wait in flames below
Whilst my love, a blood red flower
Calls to me from verdant bowers
Please save me from this Hell I know
The day that laughter died
And stayed within Her sight
Oh God, how easy now to sacrifice
My life, to have Her with me
An eye for an eye as espied in the bible
My faith is lost to the burning of idols
One less cross to press upon the survival
And I, (much as I have tried
Fate's tourniquet was tied, when She died)
Still sense Her presence so divine
Lithe arms about my throat
like pining swans entwined
Footfalls at nightfall close to mine
Suicide is a tried and tested formula for release
I snatch Her whisper like the wind through cedars
See Her face in every natural feature
Midst the mist and sleepy hollows of fever
Suicide is a tried and tested formula for release
I hear Her voice from where the grave defies Her
Siren song to sing along, no finer
Suicide notes, harmonized in a minor
Strike a chord with misery
No unsinkable of romance keeps me
Safely from the stormy seas
Death-knells pound my dreams
Unthinkable to dredge through this
Listless and lonely winter freeze
And stays within my sight
Oh God, what ease it was to sacrifice
My life, to have Her with me
No more a victim of crusade
Where souls are strung from moral palisades
I slit my wrist and quickly slip away
I journey now on jeweled sands
Beneath a moon to Summer lands
To grace Her lips with contraband
The blaze once in my veins
