Herald upon these tempest skies tonight
And the silent gaze of a guardian
You shall meet; See these stars that burn alight
Each shimmer and shine is a blink of mine
Oh, my love, how I pray for salvation from this torture
And the lucid mists that part, I embrace
So that I may grasp upon hope or clarity
So that one day, you may glimpse upon your angel's face
The evanescent light that guides you through
Shallow whispers in the dark
And though I find your body comatose in dew
A rose I will forever find
A rose imprisoned in your fumbled heart
A heart bruised and restitched to a merchant's degree
Love this virgin vessel hath never known
Black threads bind crimson blood, a sea
Of rubies that glisten in radiant faith of love
A fountain of shame descends 'pon my frozen vessel
Though for you to perceive, I would give plenty enough
Should you glimpse upon my visage just once
Just once, my love, should you picture your angel
With the bruised, beaten scars of veteran sin
And the clipped wings burning, raven feathers wilt
I would give my life, to touch radiant skin
