BLACK ROSE by Black Rose

Dark eyes are watching me
Shadows hold me tight
Nightmares come on raven wings
With screams black as night
A cold wind whines through the trees
Satan whispers near
A light touch on my shoulder
A threat for all that's dear
Her telling me I'm worthless
In the dark all good is gone
A decision made before morning
Will I live to see the dawn?
Clouds obscure the moonlight
Faint hope no longer there
An ending to the madness
A solution I can't bear
I now know how to end it
I've been shown my own demise
But somewhere a soft voice whispers
"Stop, you know he lies!"
From deep within a fire kindles
A spark from the small voice
Another breeze blows stronger now
Revealing another choice
I lower the blade from my wrist
Hands shaking, my fingers release
Slight damage already inflicted
Blood fills the tiny crease
The snake asks me what happened
His voice a puzzled drawl
My breathing finally slowing down
"Now!" I hear the voice call
The fire's now gone wild
The blade back in my hand
Possessed once more by fire
Blood spills on holy land
And as the ground drinks thirstily
Like blood the sky goes red
The decision finally made now
It's dawn and I'm not dead I
awaken from my dream
Studying an old battle mark
Seeing blood anew there
Knowing I'm still in the dark
Quietly the wind whines again
Eerily beautiful in a way
Like all the devils deceptive tricks
Hidden by light of day
Only in darkness is it revealed
The softened look of our sins
He tempts on with black roses
Then with their thorns he wins
So I send this warning
Beware the seed Satan sows
For even if it's beautiful
Nothing's more deadly than a black rose.
