my belly burns with reckless fire
consuming thoughts of suicide
and in my eyes a tortured soul
is forced now to decide

she cannot breathe the murky air
or drink the putrid water
she only hides inside my mind
the devil's only daughter

one day she will reveal to me
the secrets locked inside
and hide no more inside my thoughts
provoking homicide

but deep inside the shadowy realm
my dark one sits and waits
for one love strong to come and take
her hand and lead her through the gate

outside she'll sit beneath the stars
wondering at their beauty
nothing like this ever seen inside my mind
for there it's dark and gloomy

he'll kiss her hand and touch her face
she'll cry her bloody tears
and he will hold her close and then
erase her morbid fears

so will you lead me home, dark prince?
and take my pain away?
i cannot live forever in shadows
where all the devils play
