a wish made flesh and slowly left to rot
wasted youth on monuments of lust

never had a reason
never could remember
never found such pleasure
never caught the fever

her righteous standing (can not penetrate his skin)
her broken heart (bound with vows of solitude)
her only purpose (save the child, save the world)
her final breath (bear the burden of her task)
his gilded fingers (find their way into her hair)
his silver tongue (bound with secrets of his past)
his only purpose (sow the seed and fill the void)
his last request (bear the burden of his crimes)

a wish made stone and slowly left to fade
wasted life on tributes to the damned

never was a martyr
never went to heaven
never made a difference
never birthed the savior

her righteous standing (can not penetrate his skin)
her broken heart (bound with vows of solitude)
her only purpose (save the child, save the world)
her final breath (bear the burden of her task)
his gilded fingers (find their way into her hair)
his silver tongue (bound with secrets of his past)
his only purpose (sow the seed and fill the void)
his last request (bear the burden of his crimes)
