Hang me for my hollow ways….
Soul devoured in fiery haze.
Darkness washing over me, I pray…
Take me, O Lord, before I damn myself today.
Lost…all I am or ever was…
Lost to the cold embrace of death.
The soul that is not my own, but that which guided me…
Gone now, away, bathed in darkness and buried deep.
I sleep not the sleep of the righteous…
Piety, patience…never virtues residing in me.
My one saving Grace gone to ground…
Damned to lay in a place I cannot follow.
Hollow, my twin soul laid out in pauper's grave…
No guidance, no love, no will left to fight any more.
Take me, O demons of the deep, drag me to Hell for my misdeeds…
For the one who gave his soul to save me, should have let my wicked self go.
Held on too tight, turning every which way but lose…
Love too deep to live with out a companion.
Ah, but they say misery loves company…
So, I beg, O Lord, let me lay down next him on the rack, take my rightful place.
