Sacrosanct

What I've become will never show

As death shrouds my soul

A dead leaf in the autumn wind

That mimics a careless stroll

For I am still at bay

Neither alive nor dead

Blinded as I stare

Oh how I long to join them there

A thousand tears and a thousand hours

In a tomb never blessed

Contorted limbs reach the clouds

To shadow my limbs at rest

Utterly old, bleak and cold

Like a ghoul vaguely heard

Although my vision is crystal clear

My sight seems all blurred

Let my path be sacrosanct

Ohhh sacrosanct

Eternal black and sacrosanct

Forever sacrosanct

To veil my wicked sense

I close myself in a deathlike dream

Within the silence so immense

Lies a turmoil that twists and screams

As long as the night lies ahead

I shall extol the dead

For they have found the mirror brave

Where black is white and night is day

So bless my soul and bless my ways

But don't utter any words

Because I'II seek neither light nor day

But the darkest of all worlds

Sacrosanct be my dream

Sacrosanct and black

Now the mirror opens and invites me there

Never to go back

Let my path be sacrosanct

Ohhh sacrosanct

Eternal black and sacrosanct

Forever sacrosanct

Let my path be sacrosanct

Through the night eternal

Forever sacrosanct

Through silence nocturnal

Eternal black and sacrosanct

Let the darkness be my guide

Sacrosanct

Now the mirror opens wide
