Waiting for Dawn -

Rooftops endless quilt the view

As the night thins to my cries of hate

I have dined on virgin wine

And wiped the filth away

Unashamed, unforgiving

This unstill life, not worth living

Only one kiss, I have missed

I exist submerged in black

Drunken on my own sorrow

My light, never to come back

If you could just warm me once

Shine on, shine on me

I know you cannot cure me The remedy that will infect me Still I need you

Oh how I need you

How I need you wrapped around me A single fatal, mortal touch

My pact is sealed

Signed in blood

I wait for dawn to come

Forgo my immortality

I offer myself to you

Release me of this misery

Searing flesh, bloodstained sight

Cleansed, penance paid tonight

Ashes to ashes reduced to dust

The miserable wretch I have become

One glimpse, one touch

One heart to crush

Newborn, to die

To live, demise

I know you cannot cure me The remedy that will infect me Still I need you

Oh how I need you

How I need you wrapped around me A single fatal, mortal touch

My pact is sealed

Signed in blood

I wait for dawn to come

I wait for dawn to come

I wait for dawn to come
