(x 2)
"Tomorrow will be worse",
I heard her say, as she closed the curtains and walked away.
Tied on the bed by hands of the past. Memories too painful to be opened. My body crushed and burned from escaping life. The sleep will come, with horrors of you...
New moon, would you open the gates and take me away from this night. New moon, between the curtains, walk me away on you silvery bridge. New Moon, lay your mercy on me tonight.
The despair of morning sun, beams of UNHOLY light. No one can read the signs of these eyes. The prayer of escape, I will never heal.
The flames on my skin to wash all bad away was unpurifying kiss of suffering
But I judge myself to give it all away, for you...
New moon, would you open the gates and take me away from this night. New moon, between the curtains, walk me away on your silvery bridge. New moon, lay your mercy on me tonight.
