---

a wish made flesh and slowly left to rot

wasted youth on monuments of lust

never had a reason

never could remember

never found such pleasure

never caught the fever

her righteous standing (can not penetrate his skin)

her broken heart (bound with vows of solitude)

her only purpose (save the child, save the world)

her final breath (bear the burden of her task)

his gilded fingers (find their way into her hair)

his silver tongue (bound with secrets of his past)

his only purpose (sow the seed and fill the void)

his last request (bear the burden of his crimes)

a wish made stone and slowly left to fade

wasted life on tributes to the damned

never was a martyr

never went to heaven

never made a difference

never birthed the savior

her righteous standing (can not penetrate his skin)

her broken heart (bound with vows of solitude)

her only purpose (save the child, save the world)

her final breath (bear the burden of her task)

his gilded fingers (find their way into her hair)

his silver tongue (bound with secrets of his past)

his only purpose (sow the seed and fill the void)

his last request (bear the burden of his crimes)
