The Ecstasy Of Pain

Smooth and slender, glowing in the dark
Cold and hard, unforgiving gleam
Creation, destruction, death and life
Sorrow, joy and unfulfilled dreams

Bleed, bleed bleed my blood
Flow from my veins sweet nectar of life
Gushing forth from open wounds
Red, crimson tide.... warm, so warm

Pale and pale.. Weaker and weaker
Drained of the infection, rotting rotting
Bones weary, heart stops, brain dies
Death close, cold.. so cold

Ah the beauty, wondrous joy
The shivers it sends up my spine
Pleasure beyond belief
Sailing through the heavens

Exquisite, this feeling, oh..
Like a lover's caress upon the cheek
Every inch throbbing with the feel
Turning me into a quivering mass

My eyes open, I look around
Heaven's gone, I'm back in my limbo
The only evidence of my shame
Lies beyond sight, visible to none, save me

I call it my vice, an addiction
It is my drug, the Persephone to my Hades
My flaw, my love, my hate, my destruction
I can never let go...
