Embraced, Kissed By Death

Bleed me dry, take my life

I give it to thee, without hesitation

Take what thy will, then go

Leave me for dead like all the others

Yet, a part of thy soul lingers upon

This crawling flesh as I sink into

The utter darkness of oblivion

Creature of the night, thy are

My life is thy own to drink

Yet, I behold within my own mind

That death is not a choice for my soul

As thy kiss of darkness takes hold

Thy life flows within me now as well

Mingling and giving strength to this

Dying soul, new life reborn of the night

Thou hath not sought to dine upon me

But sought a companion in darkness,

One in sorrow and death that is now life

Embraced by the dreams which haunted

This mind for years and now, come to

Light they have beneath thy kiss

Share with me now, the glory of the night

And let us bask in the silver glow of the moon

In all her magnificent beauty
