Not once, but twice
Have I outrun this darkness
Yet behind me, it looms closer than ever
Its unrelenting pursuit halted, when we're together

Not once, but twice
Have I slain these demons
Fought with all of me, left battered and broken
Those battle scars are but my only token

Not once, but twice
Was my back against the wall
Forced unto it and pinned against my will
Fate had stricken me with the intent to ****

Not once, but twice*
Have I outrun this darkness
I wouldnt keep going if it wasnt for you
Nothing can stop me, this is what I do

*For you
Till my last breath, I would run and I would fight
To hold you close and escape the dying light.
This babygirl, is solely for you, as it always was and always will
Be
Yours

Who is she but blood of that demise
In fiery passion her own blood consumes?
Like powder waiting for the heat of flame
Whose heat in lonely agony she bathes?
What is it but fire of that demise
Whose sacrificial prodigies be made
To keep him superstitious of the flame?
And in triumph, like fire, they consume.
