The Night Won't Wait

Footsteps echo in the dark as I walk a solemn path The only home you'll ever know, spades against my back Walls dare not defy me, divine path straight and true Monuments, marble veins, carved to honor you One last look, a final goodbye, all I ask in peace Surrender to a fate unknown, sweet release And the hunger cries for more One last night for this Yet the hunger begs for more One last tainted kiss As I plunge the blade, impatience; breaking precious skin Ever, deeper, and deeper still, in finding you again To reach the door, your evermore; treasure in my eyes A pathway to eternity and I shall not be denied One last look, a final goodbye won't ever be enough Surrender to emptiness, beg for another touch And the hunger cries for more One last night for this Yet the hunger begs for more One last tainted kiss Envious of descending fog caressing sullen cheeks Ripples in the moment, steal the hours beneath Unearthing as a flower birthed of mortal sin Drawing back with fingers black the final shroud within A final rest between us, stars shine in our eyes Why can't this last forever, forever be my bride And as the walls begin to crumble, unseen destiny Swallowed whole, embrace the cold, for all eternity And the hunger cries for more One last night for this Yet the hunger begs for more One last tainted kiss
