dark flames cocoon my colorless body

Dark flames clean out the sin

As I pray for an Angel of mercy to take me away

Dark flames that rise a Dark Angel from my ashes

Her skin so red, crimson, deeply melancholy

Darkest red, call me to the depths of hell

My colorless heart so very full of acrid, sulphuric ash

Silence bites like the flames

Dark, a cold embrace with a two-faced smile that

Drains me as I sustain myself from the dark tendrils of Hades’ fury

Dark flames that birthed me, killed me,

A new renaissance of Phoenix death
