Arsis

Lust Before The Maggots Conquest

Arsis


You whose amber eyes are the curse of all loneliness 
Who greets life with a kiss of indifference 
You whose vanity must guide the garden path and surely surpass your suffocating pride 
Consummate in selfish ways have I lost my will? 
Lost sense of self, it is done, I know I must be... 
Falling forever when bonds start to sever 
I know I'll hope and pray... 
The promise of never was my oath forever 
I know I hope and pray you've had your fill of lust before the maggots conquest 
Your mark about my neck 
A keepsake of your vanity and when swollen fears are forever mine 
This is true I know I must be... 
Forever touched by the fire 
Was it your innocence that kept me at bay? 
Time was not mine, I was forever 
The wolf at the door shrouded with greed
