My Darkness Revealed

Ashes of Heaven

I tread the flames with stories to tell.
Angel’s skin like bread unleaven'.
Pleasures of Hell, a tempting snare,
The ringing of the bell, a soulful prayer,
The hissing crackle of fire, smoke upon the pyre.
Salvation of Hell, temptation of Heaven.
Once a heart, now torn in two,
With each kiss, I carve your scars through n' through.
The beast it laughs, and I laugh too.
Burning wings, a whispered fall,
Heaven's tears, a silent call.
Yet in fire's embrace, I find my all.
Ashes of Heaven, I rise.
