IOANNIS

Blessed with desire
Cursed with lust
My hands around you you know I can’t trust
The devil in my mind meets the devil in your eyes
And moments later
We dance in skin coloured clothes and bathe in primal cries

Oh so dark
When you take me deep inside
Oh so tasty
Deep inside your heart and mind

Taking steps one by one
Closing in your dangerous hive
On my knees I feed on your lies
Stranded naked and hopeless
Underneath your crimpson sky

Oh so dark
When you take me deep inside
Oh so tasty
deep inside your heart and mind

And I’m getting addicted
As I long and search your eyes
And I know this is getting hopeless
But it feels so good to die

What’s to become of me
I spiral further into your web
I’m a meal so fresh and sinful
feed on me until there is nothing left

Oh so dark
When you take me deep inside
Oh so hopeless
Devilicious is my cry

I walked into the room rugged and weary
The blankets tangled with the sheets
The breeze sliding through the window crack so eerie

Knees trembling
My fists are clutched
My sweat evaporating from the escalating fury
What had she done and what I’d do
In no way would it suffice before the jury

And the gun in the drawer
Despite the fact that I still love her
Beckons me to end it all

And the devil on my shoulder
Urges me to pick this boulder and then turn it on myself
And she’s dead

I sat on the couch by the tv
And the drawer now is empty
And my soul is struggling from within me
No remorse now all shall be done

A woeful crackling sound produced by the opening door
And the steam so fresh oozing form the shower
Pale faces turning red
And the bodies slam upon the ground
And my barrels at the ready
All that’s left
To end my self

And the gun now is needless
As she lays there lifeless
Love is morbid as it ends

The pale dark man takes the stage
He combs the room and emits his gaze
He calls upon the gods and summons the stars
And every time he sings begins a spectral waltz

I saw him once coming to my dream
As elegant as vampires and eyes forever green
And with his pale hand he reached towards me
And grabbed me by my shoulder and shook the mortal out of me

There’s more than flesh and bones
Not much of a believer but his echo pierces me
The veil that’s on the one side was torn and now I see
The pale dark man has paved the way
He buried down my carcass but there is no decay

Ridden and free
From shackles earthly and binds broken by thee
Ascending as the pale hand drags me from the deep
And every time the light rests upon my eyes
The pale dark man casts his shadow then he cries
For he has given what all seek and few shall ever find
To put a leash upon the abyss
And seek the dark to find the light

When I stepped out of my mind
Seeking of shreds of a dignity long gone
And the bruises on my hands
Remind me how long this has been going on

I felt your love from miles away
Now we’re laying on the kitchen floor
And I don’t get to have a say
I’m not allowed to speak no more
You twist the knife you hid
Since the day we first made love

My dear my everlasting love
I come before the jury now
My spirit in the mercy of the gavel of love
It’s not yourself I’ve come to blame
Collectively we poisoned each other I known

Where has all my value gone
What’s there more to contemplate
When you give one worship status
Then you strip it all away
And I still feel I can salvage
All this poison streaming in my veins
If I just endure this torture
Life will rise from this rotten grave


What is going on
What is this I see dripping from the ceiling
Is it love you’ve given me
Or is it my courage fleeing


My dear my everlasting love
I come before the jury now
My spirit in the mercy of the gavel of love
It’s not yourself I’ve come to blame
Collectively we poisoned each other I known

I believe in love
And I believe in peace
And I can’t give you what you need dear
When you can’t even give me a single piece of my peace

The streets open before me
The rain slides down my coat
A subtle little whisper
Is calling me back home

I look over my shoulder
And tightly zip my coat
The street lights blur out my vision
I shiver but I’m not cold

The wind gusts crawl from underneath me
My skin becoming sore
And all those memories traverse malignant chills
Eating away at my soul

Oh mother why you cursed me
Why you left me stranded and alone
Oh father why you strike me
How was I supposed to know
And this man now pursues me
With accusations that I must confront
Having no immediate shelter
Stripped away by a hand that was supposed to love
And a Mouth that should have nurtured
But instead it sunk its teeth into my soul

The rain now is pouring
And my coat does little to protect me from the cold
And my head is endlessly spinning as I trip and fall
A firm grip drags me all the way back
I pass out and come to, facing a mirror
Filled with cracks and a frame of color black

I can barely see my reflection
I can’t stop my watering eyes
There’s a child that lives in the mirror
Replicates me as we weep in identical cries
