Blood Bond
I¡¦m born to be hated
Rising into my sin
Scathingly berated
All that¡¦s left and quite dim
Never claimed to be good
Came from the shadows so
Did whatever I could
But wound up on death row
Black feathers surround me
Stalking my memory
Just can¡¦t be heavenly
Committing blasphemy
Forgive me dear Father
For I¡¦m a tainted lamb
Caught in this motion blur
Tears behind a steel dam
Still can¡¦t let myself cry
Because you know my pride
Yeah, I¡¦d probably lie
Than be held and confide
The wayward wicked thought
Running loose in my brain
I¡¦ve battled and I¡¦ve fought
Must be strangely insane
To think of you like this
Won¡¦t ponder that concept
But it¡¦s you that I miss
And it would work out except
You¡¦ve got white wings, no stains
The light of God with you
Be free of all my pains
You shouldn¡¦t love me, too
Don¡¦t be the dark outcast
I¡¦m not worth that trouble
Put it off in the past
Stay in your shy bubble
That¡¦s who you are and I
Want to keep it that way
Now you won¡¦t ever die
Angels conquer the gray
Walking out of Eden
That is the final straw
I¡¦m the curse of all men
Just a huge walking flaw
Bow my head in the rain
Feel one drop at a time
Never will feel the same
Bathing in onyx grime
Pining for you I¡¦ll be
Wandering wasted spirit
Now blind I cannot see
Worn and weary I sit
On my knees in water
From the sky and my eyes
Strength to come and endure
Innocence in me dies
Until I feel the brush
Of a soft supple hand
Comforting me to hush
As if this had been planned
Looking up I see that
Gentle smile on your face
Over my cheek you pat
The streams across that place
Fingers laced together
Rubbing against my flesh
Love in stormy weather
In our own way we¡¦ve blessed
So God you¡¦ve abandoned
Willing to choose the fires
From the skies we¡¦ll both run
Capturing banned desires
Romance that¡¦s illegal
Terribly illicit
To us it¡¦s quite regal
Even in hell¡¦s dim pit
Making our own rules here
Or are we breaking them?
But when I hold you near
This life I can¡¦t condemn
I am yours, you are mine
No religion can stop
Us from romance sublime
Fallen angel you drop
Down into my arms and
Whisper gingerly how
Holding my precious hand
Nothing can bar us now
Together we¡¦ve defied
The mighty maker¡¦s words
Infecting sanctified
Pure crisp doves, lovely birds
No I don¡¦t really care
As long as you¡¦re alright
With the masks you must wear
That keeps you from wrath¡¦s sight
Seems sad but we¡¦re content
Destined to be the doomed
Back in flames we¡¦re sent
Kissed by roses on tombs
Sworn a fated blood bond
No matter what the cost
Souls we¡¦ve both nicely pawned
Becoming somewhat lost
At least to cocky saints
What we have done is right
Away from God¡¦s restraints
I¡¦m given back my sight
Soul of sanctuary
My love and magic wand
You I wish to marry
Hold sacred this blood bond
