Contagion of Your Devotion

(Verse 1)

Alone in an endless midnight ocean
That seemed to spark and burn –
A delirious, drowning feeling
That caused my head to turn.

Eye lit with possessed fire,
Cognac diamonds in a porcelain sea
Embrace the screaming darkness
And a fear beyond possibility


(Chorus)

Battle scarred veterans
Secrets rise from yesterday
Contagion of your devotion
Always blocking the way
Where once was my heart
Now lies a gaping hole –
Your black rose stands witness
To my aching, weeping soul.


(Whispered Coda)
Those hellish fires of your soul –
All that’s left to dry your icy tears

(Repeat once)


(Verse 2)

Black flame enveloping on
A warm breeze, vanilla sweet
My hellish agony
Became your favorite treat

Delicious lips of wine and honey
Drank out my soul with each kiss
Every breath a baptism of fire –
A blaze that none could miss.


(Chorus)

Battle scarred veterans
Secrets rise from yesterday
Contagion of your devotion
Always blocking the way
Where once was my heart
Now lies a gaping hole –
Your black rose stands witness
To my aching, weeping soul.


(Whispered Coda)
Those hellish fires of your soul –
All that’s left to dry your icy tears


(Bridge)

Alone in this wild, dissolving bliss
Embrace the screaming darkness
Air almost too thick to breathe
Alone in a fragment of nothingness


(Chorus)

Battle scarred veterans
Secrets rise from yesterday
Contagion of your devotion
Always blocking the way
Where once was my heart
Now lies a gaping hole –
Your black rose stands witness
To my aching, weeping soul.


(Whispered Coda)
Those hellish fires of your soul –
All that’s left to dry your icy tears

(Repeat Coda until fade out)
