The Blood Divine


In Crimson Dreams

I've struggled to find the dimmest of candlelight 
Under which to scrawl these morbid words 

Through half-hearted and mortal innocent sacrifice 
To dreams of the rising snake, beneath cimmerian skies 
From leaves that fell under Autumn strain 
To slowly dying embers, that crackle in the rain 

I am dreaming crimson dreams of you 

Oh, the scars carved in my body... I gave to you 
The fires... 
May your glory be jewelled 
With gifts of armour, worn with pride, lost in battle 
To the rings I wear that bear your name 

I am dreaming crimson dreams of you 

Have I ever felt this way before? 
Have I ever dreamed that I could be inside of you? 
Taste your ever sweet love 
Bow my head at the sound of you crying? 
I remember when I tasted your tears.
