Tempting Death

Death, still I beckon thee

Embrace me with your grandeur

This mental crucifixion leaves me desolate and cursed

Eternally forsaken

Profound misery

Tormented by a reality of suffering

Dispossess this agony that binds me

Barely living, constant dread

Withering awaiting my lonesome end

Years bleeding sorrow and wasted breath

Clawing the hourglass

For I mourn each day deprived of death

So scorn and forgotten

Drowning within a boundless doom

Desolation giving way to dead eyes

Death, I beckon thee

Scorn deprived of my destiny

Cowardice now grace me with your presence

For each breath I take is an agonizing and grueling lesson

Kiss of death, take me away

For thy touch shall grant me blissful escape

Battered and bruised

And I come for your pure salvation

Tempting your malevolence to free myself of damnation

Silent overseer

Devour me with thy malignant grace

Dispossess this agony that binds me

Barely living, constant dread

Withering awaiting my lonesome end

An intrinsic peril

Drowning within this doom

Desolate and cold

Guide me to my wretched tomb

Without repentance I falter

Lead me to rot so my name can be forgot

Mangled and dismantled

Every single breath feeds this vicious cancer

Eternally forsaken

Drowning within this doom

Deprived of my destiny

I dwell within this desolation

Hand of liberation

Free me from this oppression

No longer shall I be ignored
