Iced Earth - Diary Lyrics
Mine is pure darknessIt is as blackness isDamn the light which comes fromYou as a moth to flame I burnIn the twilight of morning I rest my weary eyesFor the benefits of the nights bounty were manyMy soul has been redeemed (with those of others)I missed my love tonightHiding behind the figure I cannot bare to faceThat of a dead profitAnd his beast of burdenThorns ripping through his browSkin soft and white, eyes fire and iceJust as I recallNot longer than nine scoreCertainly food for the godsAnd fit for a princeHer throat I'll have it nowI will have her, she is mineRise of the sun, my test of timeAnd when shadows fall on unholy groundIt¹s time to sleep againAs consciousness slips into blacknessI rise to nights warm embraceAnd though my blood runs coldI know my love will be aloneAnd my mortal heart shall beat againLike it did ten thousand years agoForbidden love can only taste this sweetNot like the others so incompleteThe symbolic arrow that pierces my heartTakes the shape of a wooden stareNow I am the one crucifiedFor her immortal heart I'd give my ownAnd die for mankind's sinsBut that is not the nature of this beastI am deniedI will have her, she is mineRise of the sun, my test of timeWhen shadows fall on unholy groundI will make her mine
