The Devil's Bride

An amber spark of light
Dances in the dark
Blessed flame
You are my constant
Caught between two worlds, I am
Living in life and traveling through death
Time is an infinity
I have everything and crave more
Caught in limbo, the devil laughs
I am his beauty
Bound to life and chained to death
See the pain in my eyes
Gentle and deceiving
Claiming the next victim
A chill runs down my back
Crushed is life and dirty is death
There is no escape from my lover
The devil awaits, and the jester grins
He screams at me, WHO MY NEXT VICTIM WILL BE?
The man who glances a loving eye at me,
For he has drank his fill.
Tonight that man will find:
Lonely is life and cold is death
