Mortem: Death

So many years and I can't handle this.
I wanna escape this world,
My heart can't take this no more.
So many times I've tried to hide.
I can't seem to find my own way out.
I need a way to cope with this.
Save me before I seek my bliss.

[Chorus]

Time after time, I notice everyone is killing my lotus.
Serving my pain like a king,
Stripping my will to sing.
Diamond minds and golden hearts couldn't save me even from the start.
I need an ebony rose,
Cold and dark like when I froze.

I need you.
Be my rose.
Come and claim me before I lose myself,
Before I run up to Mortem.
Before I sink into another problem.
I know you don't want me to.
But I don't know what to do.
I need to end this and Mortem just seems to kiss me all the time,
It's so sublime.
How it promises to help me out.
I always believed it without a doubt.

[Chorus]

Time after time, you try to find my lotus.
Dethroning my pain who was king.
Encouraging my will to sing.
Diamond minds and golden hearts couldn't compare to you even from the start.
You need an ebony rose.
Cold and dark like when you froze.

We are the same.
We have the pain.
Mortem just seems to allure us,
It sings to us.
We can hide all we want here.
But I think I should face my fear...

Holding your hand was why I fought.
I was seduced by Mortem,
But you caught me by my heart.
You threw out the razor blades,
Because of you I'll never fade.
Claim me before I am turned to jade.
Kiss my burning rose,
See if you can turn it white.
I want to feel like love,
Strong and brave.
Maybe then I won't be naive.

Save me from myself.
Save me from Mortem.
Save me from it's kiss, it's burning wish.
Claim me before Mortem does.
