Today my flesh burns to cinders
Tonight I light the funeral pyre
I will be free from what hinders
Midnight marks the height of fire

Am I dragon or dark phoenix?
My scales and fire hide my face
Secrets hide inside my helix
I will rise up in this place

Tonight I find my final breath
My first and last, and your end
Born again from harsh death
Watch me burn, my darling friend

I'm the beast that stalks the night
I have come to find the way
I will feed on fear and fright
And die again before each day

I suffer long and find no rest
I feast on love and burn the dead*
While this heart beats in my chest
I must hunt the darkness in my head

The flames lick cold over my skin
As the sun comes up on high
To start the funeral pyre again
And eat the fires so I might die
