Confession

 

In my darkest hour she smiles upon me

Her siren's song beckons me to her shores

I look down upon my hands, bleeding and battered

Of this wretched pain, I can take no more

 

She calls upon me and whispers gently

Her promise of undying bliss

All I must do is take her hand

And accept her blessed kiss

 

All my dreams of death and sorrow

Has rid me of a desire for 'morrow

 

Being of sound mind I do not profess

Since performing the deed I must confess

 

She swears I'll have no feeling of guilt

All pain will vanish as my lips touch hers

In a moment of madness I have destroyed two lives

My mind is bemused by all the emotion this stirs

 

She offers her arms

In an effort to console

And asks in return

My life, love and soul

 

Satan as a lover? Must I be insane?

I've already told you, I'm not of sound brain

 

So I kiss my new lover as I take my own life

And look down at the body of whom I once called my wife
