I stalk through the darkness
seeking that which
calms my eternal soul
I lust for life
to make my own
to recapture the life
I forfeited
only to be replaced
by this cursed existence
a blood pact i made
as ancient as the wind
as ancient as I
have now become
I've seen ages pass
witnessed the death of gods
the birth of monstrosities
the rebirth of curiosity
I've tasted the bittersweet
pain wash through my veins
like november rains
I've consumed the flesh
of my flesh
been intoxicated from the blood
of my blood
victim to this addiction
catatonic death of the day
where every night
like Christ I arise
witnessing the decay of life
behind timeless eyes
alive in this ageless skin
revitalized through sin
tonight resembles last night
and a million others before
tonight i quench the thirst
tonight
i feed
