mirror can you tell me
 how to stay forever young
 let me know the secret
 I will hold my twisted tongue
 please protect my beauty
 velvet skin so pure and white
 hear my name resounding
 like a hymn at dead of night

 once I [bad word] a servant
 she's a virgin free from sin
 drops of blood caressed me
 and refined my aging skin

 could this be the answer
 [bad word] carmine red
 voices keep resounding
 in my dazed bewildered head

 have I found myself eternity
 someone has heard my prayers
 now I'll [bad word] divine

 have I found myself divinity
 I'm no longer a slave
 to the vicious hands of time

mother can you hold me
 one more time again
 whisper "I still love you? in my ear
 mother did you lie
 would you tell me why
 there is something deeper that I fear
 justify the malice I portray
 daggers in the darkness find your way
 when the moon is full and piercing bright
 drench me with your innocence tonight

 don't you want to die
 walk beside me evermore
 don't you feel alive
 like you've never felt before

 visions of the future
 unprofound and blurred
 I have passed the point of no return

 justify the malice I portray
 let me keep my beauty one more day
 when the moon is full and piercing bright
 drench me with your innocence tonight
 don't you want to die
 walk beside me evermore
 don't you feel alive
 like you've never felt before

 don't you want to die
 souls transcending, silver shine
 don't you feel alive
 your blood preserves my place in time

breathe in deep
 smell these halls of hate
 carve your name into these walls
 before it is too late
 cold and twisted
 they resisted
 what was I to do
 all I ever wanted was
 a fraction of the [bad word] 
 walking in the shadows
 of my blackened mind
 lost inside this shallow
 vanity of time

 what if there's a God a [bad word] and heaven
 fire is the torment I must face
 dying by the souls I have forsaken
 no one's going to catch my fall from grace

 (bleed on me)
 watch me from your cage
 as I rejoin my painful prime
 (suffer and exhale)
 you and I are relics
 we provoke and we recline

 walking in the shadows
 of my blackened mind
 angels crave my sorrow
 sorrow they will find

 what if there's a God a [bad word] and heaven
 fire is the torment I must face
 dying by the souls I have forsaken
 no one's going to catch my fall from grace

 walking in the shadows
 of my blackened mind
 angels crave my sorrow
 sorrow they will find
