Blue Blood

Blue blood on the floor
Gives my heart a mighty shake
Opening the door
To the world of nothingness
Where your eyes now stare
Looking for another chance
Find it in my face
Find it in my tears and prayers

Please don't fade away
You're my anchor in the void
Final shred of hope
That this life is not all wrong
Nothing left out here
Only scores of endless foes
Nobody who knows
The person who I was before

This new heart of mine
Never beat this hard before
First time since I woke
There's a flame within my soul
Flame shaped like your face
Burning darkly through my mind
Flame shaped like your eyes
Seeing, knowing what's inside

You have been my friend
Since we first stood back to back
Source of strength and pride
Spirit that kept mine in check
You have been a wish
Buried deep inside my heart
Secret in the lonely
Nights we always spent apart

I don't care if I'm
Selfish to hold on to thee
I don't give a damn
If you'd rather fly off free
Now that I have seen
How you'd suffered, how you'd fought
I can't let you go
Into darkness on your own

Angel with no faith
Please don't let them break your wings
Listen to my breath
Hear me whisper secret things
While I watch your eyes
Going empty in my hold
I can't bear to lose
The only man I've ever loved.
