vengeful spirit

a storm to break steeples is nigh

i feel it in my deviant pathology

the autumn leaves no longer sigh

but instead hiss a virulent cacophony

stricken in the dead of night

fear quickens me to flee or fight

this otherworldly parasite

who stalks my very dreams

sickened by this atmosphere

blood's slickening everything in here

nightmares are liars to commandeer

and furnish with my screams

she seeks control

so disaster will follow me

please free my soul

before her darkness can swallow me

i tasted betrayal

i was a fool

i will never relent

i am agony sent

vengeance in the still hungry sights of a ghoul

the snow and roses

of youth have passed away

yet still she haunts me

in truth i stay her prey

further down the habit hole

i fall feigning greater escapology

but drugs do nothing but extol

the here and now

and not venomous ghostology

i was hers but chose

another for my own

and everybody knows

suicide is for the solo. my loved ones swoon to her embrace

for them a tomb will soon encase

their spilled remains

the cursed chase

begins for me afresh

adverse venus of the rites

hearse of perverse appetites

her thirst

it worsens and invites

a creeping of the flesh

she seeks control

so disaster will follow me

please free my soul

before her darkness can swallow me

i tasted betrayal

i was a fool

i will never relent

i am agony sent

vengeance in the still hungry sights of a ghoul

i tasted betrayal

misplaced and cruel

i will never relent

i am agony sent

vengeance in the still hungry sights of a ghoul

in the still hungry sights of a ghoul

first a gelid whisper

then the candlelight cavorts in sympathy

for where once it was murder to resist her

paralysis of terror stills the urge to flee

the demon enters

swathed in a fell bestiality

she this vengeful wraith tormentor

i pray the time has come for hell to set me free
