Ceremonial Mercy
Clouds veil the Moon
as I cover you in myself
Bathe you in my lovely blood
Dress you up in scarred skin.
Breathe into me your anguish
I'll lap it up
I'll soothe you with secrets and stories
I'll preach to you of perfection.
Sin all over me darling
Heaven awaits us
Hand over your weapons
I'll bury them here, in my heart
with my honesty and aches.
