The fading rays of eternal light
Longing for some skin to kiss
An empty ocean, deep, awaits
A nocturnal flood of gloom and grief

It feels like a hundred years have gone
Yet another thousand to come
Refused to live, refused to die
Looking for the hand that feeds
Carving my flesh, so deep
Until every scar of life is drenched in blood

Go, find the truth
Your bloodlines won't belie you
In the secret shelter of the night
You'll find and reclaim your light

Above, the sky is lit by fire
Below, the endless dark
Pulling me down, tearing me asunder
Two worlds colliding and bursting apart
Looking down my hands that bleed
Light's flooding my flesh, so deep
Until every scar of life will be cleansed

Cleanse me
