Souls

Dark angels fly up high
Dark angels fly down low 
Black wings on starless nights
with golden eyes that glow

She whispered from lips of crimson rose
as all around me her black wings closed
Drink of this wine my sweet gentle lover
as I hide you in the night 
under shadows gentle cover

Let me show you this world
in a different light
and if you give me your heart 
then I will give you the night

and as I lifted my head
sweet like rain on my face
these words sprang from my mouth
as my last saving grace

you haunt me in dreams
you haunt me at night
full of bansee screams
full of venums spite

you haunt me in the moon
as you haunt me in the day
and my heart is but an instrument
upon which your fingers play
