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
