In Sickness And In Hell

What have I done? Am I out of my mind?

Have I gone completely insane?

Should I grow cold in this thin lullaby

Or follow the essence of men?

This false masquerade, sensations and trials

We laid in the passion of mutual denial

I've offered a piece of my once beating heart

To linger in madness, in sickness and fright

What is all this? Is it truth or folklore?

Is this what you want me to be?

Is it the shade that had made us grow sore

Or is it the shade deep in me?

I gave her my body, I gave her my name

I gave her my silhouette and my dark shame

I used all my charm and I used all my fame

And divinity's fall and that sickness again

For I want all the glory in truth, far from pleasures and lies

All the glory in the shade of the sun

I have desires that run deep, that run deeper than lust

All the longings that I shed all my love to

In sickness and in hell I shall dwell

I will never be true

I am I, who are you?

In this silent decay

I won't stay

I'll run pale for this treacherous day

You are fading away

In sickness and in hell I walk along these mortal ways

In sickness and in hell I am true

And where are all the glorious vows between me and you?

In sickness and in hell I am through

Behold the death of wolf, behold the howls that silent run

And welcome this new man I've come to be

Farewell you, silver moon, insanity and passion's rime

I am where I belong, away from you

(In sickness and in hell I'm leaving you)
