Sanguine Masquerade (Absolute Rouge the Bat)

I’m barely holding together Two threads of sanity I’m scarcely able to make A way their eyes can see If I fail and I fall To the venom within Their souls will fall as well To the sum of their sins So I’ll steal away into the dark of night To steal away seconds for their minds From the devil in the veins From the shadow in the brain From the darkness within This sanguine masquerade I’m barely holding together The threads of my soul The viper behind my eyes Casts over us a blackened hole When I fail (and I will) I will take the Blight with me When I fail (and I will) May whatever gods remain grant mercy So I’ll steal away into the dark of night To steal away seconds for their minds From the devil in the veins From the shadow in the brain From the darkness within This sanguine masquerade I can’t give up (There’s nothing left in this world to steal) I can’t give up (Everything I once enjoyed tastes like bile) I can’t give up (If I have to take it all on me) I can’t give up And I’ll take every fucking one of them Down with me!!!! So I’ll steal away into the dark of night To steal away seconds for their minds From the devil in the veins From the shadow in the brain From the darkness within This sanguine masquerade Down with devil in the veins Down with the shadow in the brain Down with the darkness within This sanguine masquerade
