She calls to you from darkness

Tempting you to step inside

She feeds on your desire

Tearing old wounds open wide

She soothes you with her presence

Numbing you to pain

She twists the world around you

Until you lose your name

It is not peace she brings you

No solace or sweet ease

She sears away all kindness

And drives you to your knees

Her love is born of darkness

Built up by vicious lies

You follow her through shadow

And the light inside you dies
