Electrical impulses arc
Disturbing the rancid night
An abhorration in the darkness
Cowers from the light

A confluence of pain awakens me
An unholy trinity of man
Tortured soul, mongrel of science
Spawned by a godless plan

By this world deemed repulsive
Ostracised and cast out
Rendered fugitive by perception
Condemned to fury and to doubt

She too knew persecution
Embittered and spurned
She felt the hatred seething
From the stake as she burned

I see her dressed in black today
She’s riding the ghost train
I feel the need to reach out to her
But know that I must refrain

The sky seems eerily dark tonight
Filled with foreboding and with thunder
What almighty god has joined together
Let no man put asunder

The chains of love remain
They never will be broken
The chains they drag even after death
Though words of love are no longer spoken

I see her shadowy figure, veiled
Hear the knock upon my door
I smell a scent upon the wind
That leaves me wanting more

I watch her glide upon the air
I know her beauty is ethereal
She is no longer of this world
Her being now immaterial

The reek of musty death stems from
Maggot ridden wounds that fester
She drives the stake in deep once more
As the spirits do behest her

I look on in solemn silence
Look upon my dear departed
And tears they flow for myself and my
Black bride forever parted

Untimely departures
Unsaid goodbyes
Dark beings of the abyss
It is your time to arise

With your souls still grieving
Ungodly eyes
Dark beings of the abyss
It is your time to arise

Where evil inhabits
Where essence dies
Dark beings of the abyss
It is your time to arise
