Lyrics
I am your poison candygram,
the love that's meant to fade away.
Vade retro, alter ego, move aside,
I'm choking on this life.
I think I tolerate your hate,
as long as you're afraid.
All I wanted was to be with you,
and suffer every day.
Under the moon I hold a wake for a promise torn.
Mortally wounded, feelings sheltered me.
Once again my shadow will enter your life.
Time to walk with me the last mile.
I read a book about a man,
a love, a woman, how they died.
How I was waved aside,
listen how the headless doves cry.
I truly see a madman,
in the mirror when I'm weak.
I spent a year in love,
before I realized it's me.
Open your blue eyes,
tell me that you love me, whore.
Make me believe it,
I know you're lying.
Broke the vow I thought you made.
My angel, why?
Could I let you wait out the night?
Mother always said:
"My son, do the noble thing!
You have to finish what you started.
No matter what, now sit, watch and learn."
"It's not how long you live,
but what your morals say."
Cannot keep your part of the deal.
So don't say a word, don't say a word.
It won't be long now, love,
like mist I slowly fill the room.
I place a black candle on your chest,
the path of night is manifest.
I never wanted us to end up,
in this catatonic phase.
It wasn't me who ran away,
you made me stray.
Open your blue eyes,
tell me that you love me, whore.
Make me believe it,
I know you're lying.
Broke the vow I thought you made.
My angel, why?
Settling the score, we pass the twilight.
Mother always said:
"My son, do the noble thing!
You have to finish what you started.
No matter what, now sit, watch and learn."
"It's not how long you live,
but what your morals say."
Cannot keep your part of the deal.
So don't say a word, don't say a word.
Strawberry blonde, your stranglehold,
on my heart is bound to end.
I suppose, life sometimes,
it doesn't go the way it was meant.
Though you never were a believer,
I assure you: I won't die before you
You read the book now,
the part "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust".
Short is the fight of this little starling.
Love sounds familiar, but the emotion escapes me.
I will carpe the diem while it's still here,
and see how the fear of death becomes her.
We had it all so sweet!
Made for me and you, indeed.
Big secret, small the lie.
Don't cry for me, oh argentite
No word you say tonight,
can make this be alright.
I'll help you follow through.
Remember this: pacta sunt servanda
The wounds are too deep!
I need to keep the scars,
to prove there was a time,
when I loved something more than life.
Unlike the last time here,
I now have the means and a will sincere.
Your knight is nowhere near!
Unfortunate for you, this makes me your God.
Closing your eyes,
don't ever say you love me, whore.
You never meant a word,
I know you lied.
When there is life, there is despair.
Indulge me now and stay alive this night!
I promise you the end before the first light arrives.
