Lying on the bed, she's next to me in the dark.
She is the only thing left to me in her ragged
Robe, and I know - she will never
Leave me, because I can hear her screaming
In my head and she's burning in my mind like fire.
She bends over me and I close my eyes awaiting her kiss.

I remember someone else's kiss,
Someone from my far-away past, from a dark
Universe, burning on my lips like fire.
But the memory breaks, and all I can see is a ragged
Edge of blood. And as I start screaming
I know I can escape her - never.

I can see it in her eyes, she will never
Let me go. And she seals that silent promise with her kiss.
Memories are pounding on the doors of my mind screaming,
Trying to escape. But they are swallowed in the folds of her dark
Robe. And I feel my hurting ragged
Mind blazing alight - a ball of fire.

I feel the heat, she consumes me in her fire.
Blinding light to be extinguished never
And torment me until the last ragged
Remnants of thought dissolve in the power of her kiss.
As she turns away, I fall into the dark.
She leaves the room reveling in my screaming.

As her footsteps die away I stop screaming
And relive her touch on my skin - her fire -
And in my mind I curse her as I surrender to the dark.
In the quiet of the night I hear again her promise to never
Leave me, and I long for one last parting kiss.
I am hers, even as she leaves behind my mind and body ragged.

As I sink deeper and deeper the ragged
Edges of thought begin to surface through my silent screaming.
As I rise, I shake away the last memory of her kiss
And as the thin silk around my body is engulfed by fire
I know that I will come back - never,
And let myself be swallowed by the dark.

As she hears my screaming stop, she turns around in her ragged
Robe and runs back to the dark room. But not even her kiss
Can bring me back now - never. For I have found escape in fire.
