My Dying Bride – The Dark Caress

I hide myself away in the dark

I can’t find my way in this hole

This twisted life is so cruel I’m so sick

I need to find her soul to save me

I remember the King

And his Queen I shall never forget

No finer woman had lay before me

Dark and filled with beauty

All it took was one lonely kiss

Her lips, swollen and red

Smothered all over me

I felt faint and without control

And with great thirst, I drank deeply

She gave to her lust and ecstacy

We kissed just once her life dripped down on me

Even now, in life’s closing does she still shine

Woman of mine you’ll never close your eyes

So I hide myself away in the dark

And death she bathes with me, in my heart

They’ll never see what I’ve seen

They cannot know, who I’ve been

The things I’ve done, they torture me

But I need them, for they are me

Lust in me, you’ll dream of me, life

In pitch night I’ll be there watching you
