lyrics

A javelin of darkness brought by the bats
Blood tattoos armor under moonlit rings
Look at how deep his fangs sink
Look at how strong his body clings

A sliver of kindness on the nape of your neck
Vanity hardens, coating your chest
Look at how good your fortunes lie
Look at how your grace has caught my eye

Shadows of leaves remind her to sway
Forgetting soul, to illuminate
Orange to brittle autumn-baked
This cycle how can we escape?

Letters in precious silver leaf
By angels hands sent to the styx
And how could they just throw it away?
Why should beauty dance with the flames?
