The Hades Bride (feat. Erik Neugebauer)

A dark veil Over your eyes, signifies the first time I saw Hell Now black sails arise, failed to recognize parts of you behind tall tales A cold night through these marked trees A rite of passage, my heart ceased Obols placed in my eyes, before I arrive to die at the dark sea Aeacus at the gate, sitting and ready to judge Sealing eternity's fate, hatred is lesser than love Sacred initiatives run, I feel for the sun But see the images of women and children in blood Oh god, please save my soul Oh gods, I crave control No lie, I've been flayed into a mold, of past experience Witnessin empathy take its toll You were there in the black dress, singing As my soul took to the air, creating a vast demon A Behemoth, that transformed from a sad being Givin' up all of my energy, appease the queen who murdered me I'm fillin' the cup with borrowed souls and dreams I see Persephone, and I become Hades Even when I sleep, I can't breathe in, or release it, 'cause you made me You've stolen nectar from the skies (From the skies) The human inside, the mind of an empty mortal Transformed into a god With regret I become the knight (Become the knight) For the surfacing darkness inside of you Solidify your right as the Hades bride Your decision to call maliciousness an act of giving Was the penance sentenced I gave you realness, gave you forgiveness But you're smoke and mirrors you don't see the difference Your vision was to make me believe that everything I needed resided in you I couldn't be more wrong, Been hating it so long, I steadily freefall Taste the fruit of an eternal darkness in a mind confined Truly gifted, yet I'm truly blind Contemplating the roots of suicide, I lose the fight, the truth is I proved you right I'm foolish, I could lose it, my Composure's conclusive to suit the bride The truth of illusions is through the eye The noose is tight, but Zeus isn't choosin' sides Fruit of the vine, the nectar of the gods Given to only the individuals proven to go against the odds Moving through time, I try to escape you But your face stays a gate placed with great tools Disfiguring the goddess, make sure that sentiment is rotting And feelings steady fading Became the god of the underworld for a girl Why the hell did I let her change me You've stolen nectar from the skies (From the skies) The human inside, the mind of an empty mortal Transformed into a god With regret I become the knight (Become the knight) For the surfacing darkness inside of you Solidify your right as the Hades bride The Hades Bride amplifies the night And you can see all the souls in her eyes
