Ad Vitam Aeternam

Picture Of Dorian Gray

Ad Vitam Aeternam


Staring at the one, occupying 
the picture, both envy and hate 
got a grip on me. Time wouldn't 
fade the lines of his face. 

Admired and lusted after by some 
noble guests, as you would be kept 
clear of by those who would've 
brought you up to deity. 

I wish time would avoid me like 
the plague and devour the gentle 
outlines on his face. 
To do so I would sell my soul 
to the devil. No need to grieve, 
night is drawing near. 
Will take away my daydream 
and sink into the ocean 
of stranger thoughts. 

Your prayer sounds enchantress to me 
like a spell, get drunk on my words 
by yearning for this new life offering itself. 

I've been listened to by the Evil One 
who has made my prayer come true. 
I've lost all kind of sleep… 
The ones that once loved me died 
in the net of my pride and imposture… 

Now I feel ashamed, cannot hide away 
from the curse that prevails in me. 

Each night I crowd round your soul and your 
nastiest thoughts taste like exquisite food. 

I happened to believe from pain burden 
I could be freed. 

Once upon a human, dust do dust, 
ashes to ashes and once upon a vampire, 
vestige for centuries… 

All the more beautiful the suffer is. 
Unwelcome gift… immortality! 

Admired and lusted after as you would 
be kept clear of by those who would've 
brought you up to deity… 

This obscene face gazing at me to 
disclose the cruel truth of my being. 
I wish you dead, I'm losing grip all the same. 
Mankind… can't you see this is killing me?
