Twisted immortality 
The 'gift' I need to give 
I suffer with my trembling 
Strange desires just to live 

The blood of life fulfills me 
As death becomes my bed 
My soul submits to ecstacy 
The height that most would dread 

Alas, the light controls me 
I hide away once more 
The trickle and the echoing 
Tranquility is restored 

Behold as sadness sings 
Sweet lullaby with grace 
The timelessness it brings 
To the lonliness I face 

Stubborn I may be 
I do not wish to perish 
For the plight which most would flee 
I have only learned to cherish 

So here I am in full 
This song that finds tomorrow 
The freedom has its toll 
In everlasting sorrow
