Within the remnants of what we once called our city

The vermin reign

Controlling the streets

Infecting like a virus

They swarm

"We are quite alike, I will admit"

Gazing upon the rodent plague

Whilst the rest hold themselves of higher importance

They only create a greater distance for when they...

Fall!

Leading her through the back alleys we avoid their gaze

As they search furtively

Hiding in the deep gutters

Her hand grips tightly

Their sirens had passed

And the urge had returned

My eyes roll back in my head

Twisting the will to fill this void in my life

I feel my bones grow cold

Falling back against the crumbling bricks

The remnants of our walls

My eyes roll back into my head

Twisting the will to fill this void in my life

Soul crushing agony

Convulsing to relapse into my self made abyss

The last of the drugs in my system were fading

Almost gone

Wading in the dark

That familiar feeling came along

The downward spiral

Waiting to pull me deeper

The itch rekindled, his name echoed

The poisonous rogue will be needing a visit

It was going to come to this

Looking into her angelic face

Her untainted innocence

It was always going to come to this...

I sigh and look away

The serpent awaits

With an angel by my side

Still no good could become of me

I would even black out the heavens

Before I get a chance to be saved

Now we march into the land of the depraved
