Devil's Kiss

Dmitry, name like a whispered prayer, a saint turned renegade Wore the mantle of the blessed, heaven's blade against the shade But angels sing with tongues that fork, their whispers laced with guile Met a demon - eyes like stars, and mercy warped my sense of mile Torn between the hymns of Eden and the hellfire's sweet refrain Dmitry, the fallen angel, dancing in eternal rain Heaven's hammer stained with shadow, the devil's kiss upon my lips A Judas with a halo, lost in twilight's cruel eclipse Her name assailed by workers' light, I become Mitya in her gaze I see myself in her defiance, a echo of my shadowed days Memories like phantoms flicker, whispers of a life lived twice Forgotten sins and whispered names, the price to eat of heaven's rice Torn between the hymns of Eden and the hellfire's sweet refrain Dmitry, the fallen angel, dancing in eternal rain Heaven's hammer stained with shadow, the devil's kiss upon my lips A Judas with a halo, lost in twilight's cruel eclipse Is this love or twisted penance? Redemption's mask on sin's parade? Or just a fool chasing shadows, in a game where angels betray? I clutch the void where memories hide, the truth a serpent in my chest Is Dmitry a hollow echo, or the monster made for heaven's quest? Torn between the hymns of Eden and the hellfire's sweet refrain Dmitry, the fallen angel, dancing in eternal rain Heaven's hammer stained with shadow, the devil's kiss upon my lips A Judas with a halo, lost in twilight's cruel eclipse So let the thunder roll, let the moonlight be as blood Gut will guide the fallen angel, Dmitry stands against the flood.
