Nightfall Angel [Cover of Ophidian]

A pretty malevolence Alone in the whispers of beasts of legend and shadow Following you deeper into metaphorical forests Something not quite natural, but timeless and beautiful White Sunday and black Friday The clock mocks us all as the sky surrenders To the darkness we had feared Seared into us like branding irons as the waves pull away Creole and Cajun A contagion to fill my veins and imaginations Nightfall angel Lights my path Leave me to my madness poisoned by your very presence I die like a withering tree roots deep in the grey decay And groaning with the wind Infuse me then refuse me to see how high I might soar An unholy light that blinds me, binds me to your beauty Ethereal and surreal I would lay in your darkness and bear witness to your beauty As you pass through, untouched Transient, drinking tears The penance of the lover Seraphim of shame You hover Creole and Cajun A contagion to fill my veins and imaginations Nightfall angel (Lights my path) Nightfall angel My grandmother used to say That one day, I'd be an angel Her words have come true I am an angel I'm finally what I'm meant to be Transient, drinking tears The penance of the lover Seraphim of shame You hover
