Black angel

I see his grin, sharp teeth promising death
His eyes shine, glowing with hate
Black wings come forth from his back
his soul burns about him like an aura of despair.

I see the shadows flee from his presence
See the light vanquished by his sorrow.
I feel the lack of life in his presence
I smell death as he beats his wings.

Madness hides in his eyes
Anger in his voice
He summons me to his side,
And steals away my soul

Through it all I see but one light in his heart
I know this light, for I hold it too.
This kinship binds us
This kinship protects me from his wrath.

As I gaze upon his face,
I see it as my own.
As I hear his voice,
His words come from my mouth

As he walks, I travel
Through time and space
As he flies, I sore
And quickly leave this world behind

Lost in my ascension,
I resemble no longer a human soul
For mine has been taken
And given to the night

And yet I still hold this one truth
The light burning at my core
Keeping me alive
Saving me from my fate

It is my heart that protects me
Though I cast only death on all I see
It is my love that saves me
Though I know only hate.

And so I traverse
From this world, Into the next
Loving you forever…
…without a soul, lost in my own shattered dreams…
Unable to see the light.
Unable to feel...Save my kinship with the night.
