Pavor Nocturnus

I was in love with death herself
And death herself, she loved me back
Before, it snowed cinder and ash
Before, the sun only burned black
Sex and drugs and heads that roll
Her touch, a tactical attack
And as the death knell bells were tolled
Committed sins I can't take back

I know it's only rock 'n' roll
But tonight, it could take your life
As death lays her kiss like snow
A pale ghost on my pillow
Mistress, deliver me
One last elegy

Innocence lost in decadence
The blood trails up and down the aisles
I thought I saw you in a dream
I thought I saw you pray to god
Black holes that made up her eyes
Were where her armageddon starts
Something inside of her had died
Or at least it died in part
The rapture flames could not ignite
The cold wall between our hearts

I know it's only rock 'n' roll
But tonight, it could take your life
As death lays her kiss like snow
A pale ghost on my pillow
Mistress, deliver me
One last elegy

Pavor nocturnus, pavor nocturnus
Pavor nocturnus, pavor nocturnus
Pavor nocturnus, pavor nocturnus
Pavor nocturnus, pavor nocturnus

Pavor nocturnus, pavor nocturnus
Pavor nocturnus, pavor nocturnus
Pavor nocturnus, pavor nocturnus
Pavor nocturnus, pavor nocturnus

The final curtain falls, our story is complete
Further than forever, locked away inside a dream
