Angel of Sorrow

Our hearts, folded up with thorns, are now bleeding
Why, you asked for roses, barbwire is all I ever gave you
Lights grow dim as she realizes that this glass
Is neither half empty nor half full
There’s just no glass at all

Take a look at my eyes,
See, you were everything to me
Betrayal will be no more,
This embrace was only meant to daub more tar on your feathers

I know she saw this coming, but decided to stay
There was love tinged with hate in her voice when she eventually asked:
‘is it my grave you’re digging?’
But you don’t mind dying for me, do you?

You wish you could fly away, I bid you to fall
Black wings will lead your way to the bottom as I push you down the cliff
We had everything, you wasted it all, spare one very last kiss
The hourglass in my hand says it’s high time you fade away

I know she saw this coming, but decided to stay
There was love tinged with hate in her voice when she eventually asked:
‘is it my grave you’re digging?’
But you don’t mind dying for me, do you?

They say hatred dampens feelings,
But if tonight you shatter, my world will do, too
(I know she saw this coming, but decided to stay)
’cause I know, I know frozen lips won’t kiss me back
(there was love tinged with hate in her voice when she eventually asked:)
I’m falling with you tonight on my own will, so
(‘is it my grave you’re digging?’)
You see, when you asked me if I’d share your deathbed I didn’t say ‘no’
(but you don’t mind dying for me, do you?)
But I don’t mind dying for you, after all (x2)

I’m falling with you tonight on my own will, so
You see, when you asked me if I’d share your deathbed I didn’t say ‘no’
I don’t mind dying for you, after all

Barbwire will slowly swallow our grave.
