Love's Corpse

A prison of my own creation
Clipped my angel’s wings tonight
He says I’m an abomination
I fear that he is right.

Our love was my salvation
But I couldn’t stand the light
Turned my back on dedication
Fear has surely won this fight.

Chorus:
I lay beside this corpse
The corpse of our young love
And hold its hand forever
Remembering the forgotten one.

My heart has ceased its beating
Darkness calls my name
My joy was only fleeting
Suffering now my claim

My angel left me forsaken
Living among the damned
Still my love remains unshaken
No matter how the flames of hell are fanned

Towards the heavens my screams ring clear
Silence my deafening answer
I killed our love with my own fear
Now I must live with this cancer

I lay beside this corpse
The corpse of our young love
And hold its hand forever
Remembering the forgotten one.

My heart has ceased its beating
Darkness calls my name
My joy was only fleeting
Suffering now my claim

Once I had perfection
But I failed to recognize
The flaws were what was beautiful
My angel love’s prize

Now I lay beside this corpse
The corpse of our young love
And hold its hand forever
Remembering the forgotten one.

My heart has ceased its beating
Darkness calls my name
My joy was only fleeting
Suffering now my claim

They clipped my angel’s wings tonight
He is forever beyond my reach
This corpse rots as I rot
I rot while he sings on high
I am the corpse
And I rot
I rot
