The Scarlet Darkness

Wohha. I've been on a ship the last four days, and my stomach's still trying to crawl up my throat. Bear with me.

THIS SCARLET DARKNESS

What is evil? You once asked
I tell you now: Evil are the things that last
A memory, that's all I have left
spoken with a rotting breath
That breath was yours, you in my arms
on stone-cold floor -
hate, once hated, now keeps me warm
This scarlet darkness taints all I see
poisoning eternity
Your last words, spoken, but not for me
Mercy, oh how did I die
when it cut right through my life
There was nothing left to do
- I took my Light, I sliced him through
You did not see.
There is nothing now left to say
- scarlet darkness, here's the way:
the virgin path to all I am
Scarlet darkness, come again!

This scarlet darkness knows nearly no regret
Did you ever look behind the words I said?
There is no passion! taught all my life
I now say : yes, but there's still crime:
My heart was yours
Yours was never mine!
This heart is old now, and all my smiles lie
I am pastz grieving
past living, past ready to die
I'm waiting here, now of the dark
-will your ghost come?
I'll ram a knife into its heart
Innocence I murdered, balance I undid
I would have moved worlds
for the touch of your lips
I move them now, to find you, to see...
I want to know how it feels
Slaughtering eternity
