Pearly Gates

IN DREAMS I HAD MY LATE LOVE RETURN FROM THE COMDEMNED,
RADIANT AS EVER IN THE LIGHT OF DAY'S BREATH.
HER GHOST, SHE DESIRED, TO COALESCE ONCE MORE,
AND LIKE IXION, I EMBRACE A FAINT ALLURE.

 

I've come to seize again the most cherished of lovers
I've come to die again in your intricate covers
In hell I grew delicate beyond my carnal life
I’ve come to resolve our eternal strife

 

HER TENDER HEART SO PURE AND KIND
I TARNISHED WITH  MY WANDERING MIND
IN FLEETING MOMENTS I STRAYED AFAR
I FED ON LECHERY, A LOVE BIZARRE.

 

Dying in your sheets is my last will
The recollection of you haunts me still
I call for truce and forgive what you did
Now come indulge in dreams somber and morbid
Done away with myself in despair
In an attempt to flee from our nightmare
In blissful ignorance of what awaits
When you're send off before the pearly gates

 

AND THOUGH I SHOULD’VE FELT CONTENT
I COULDNT HELP BUT TO REPENT
IS THIS THE PENANCE I MUST COMMIT
INFATUATED WITH THIS COUNTERFEIT

 

Dying in your sheets is my last will (MY LAST WILL)
The recollection of you haunts me still
I call for truce and forgive what you did
Now come indulge in dreams somber and morbid
Done away with myself in despair
In an attempt to flee from our nightmare
In blissful ignorance of what awaits
When you're send off before the pearly gates

 

Farewell, I depart to the deceased
Our last encounter fugitive
I may desist at least
You’ve vaunted over bedding my earthly shell afore
You’ve longed for other ventures when loyalty you swore

 

HER WORDS PIERCED ME, LIKE A DAGGER TO MY CORE,
FOR IN HER GHOSTLY RETURN, I CRAVED HER EVEN MORE.
THAT EPHEMERAL VISIT HAD COME TO AN END
IT DAWNED ON ME: I BED HER SOUL, HER LIVING DAYS MISSPENT

 

HER LIVING DAYS MISSPENT
HER LIVING DAYS MISSPENT

 

Dying in your sheets is my last will (MY LAST WILL)
The recollection of you haunts me still (HAUNTS ME STILL)
I call for truce and forgive what you did (FORGIVE WHAT U DID)
Now come indulge in dreams somber and morbid (SOMBER AND MORBID)
Done away with myself in despair (MYSELF IN DESPAIR)
In an attempt to flee from our nightmare (FLEE FROM MY NIGHTMARE)
In blissful ignorance of what awaits (OF WHAT AWAITS)
When you're send off before the pearly gates (BEFORE THE PEARLY GATES)
