Aeterna Noctis

She takes my hand leading me down through the trees Succumbing to temptation Innocence dying slowly The heavens are weeping as bodies align We eat of the flesh and we drink of the wine We sever our ties and leave mankind behind I kissed her thighs beneath the pale moonlight With my arms wide open A sacrifice of an immeasurable price It's the life I've chosen Refined delights and unimaginable heights But the cost was the same And heaven and hell wouldn't have me today So here I remain With my arms wide open I'd serve a lifetime just to stay here forever To some it's a gift and to others a curse We eat of the fruit for knowledge and rebirth Insatiable hunger, unquenchable thirst A slave to no one yet I'm destined to serve With my arms wide open A sacrifice, so unprepared for the price All the lives I've taken I buried mine when my humanity died But the cost was the same The passing of years couldn't sweep me away So here I will reign With my arms wide open The flesh is stronger when the spirit has suffered I'd serve a lifetime just to stay here forever All we could want born from the ashes of all that we love Sealed in our blood We had the world but it just wasn't enough We signed our lives away with death on our tongues Embracing Embracing the night Howling winds chime Reading the signs of the starlit sky Come climb aboard for your ride A one way ticket at the price of your soul You'll live forever but you'll never go home
