The Bleeding Shine

Verse 1

I step from ash where ancient empires died

A shadow bleeding from my wounded side

My skin is marble carved by endless night

A freezing heaven blocking out the light

I am the hunger written in the stars

The god who wears her worship like a scar

She drops to knees upon the chapel floor

And drinks the ruin that my body bore

Chorus

My body is her altar cold and grand

She traces every curse beneath my hand

She drinks the poison swallows up the pain

Letting my river flood inside her vein

A twisted sacrament a bleeding shrine

I am the master and her soul is mine

Her soul is mine

Verse 2

I bear the mark of centuries of sin

The tragic crown that burns beneath my skin

They call it damnation call it dark decay

She calls it mercy when I look her way

She licks the venom from my gothic tongue

A fatal hymn that has to yet be sung

No mortal man could ever hold her so

I am the winter and she loves the snow

Chorus

My body is her altar cold and grand

She traces every curse beneath my hand

She drinks the poison swallows up the pain

Letting my river flood inside her vein

A twisted sacrament a bleeding shrine

I am the master and her soul is mine

Her soul is mine

Bridge

I pull her down upon the stone

Make her fragile heart my throne

Drain the light from every breath

She takes communion in my death

Cursed together bound in red

Even in hell we won't be dead

Guitar and Organ Solo

Chorus

My body is her altar cold and grand

She traces every curse beneath my hand

She drinks the poison swallows up the pain

Letting my river flood inside her vein

A twisted sacrament a bleeding shrine

I am the master and her soul is mine

Her soul is mine

Her soul is mine

Outro

Sink my fangs into her throat

Let the sacred darkness float

Forever kneeling at my shrine

Forever hers forever mine
