Lyrics
The Abyss pulled me into her embrace
Relentless
Like an old lover welcoming me home
I found bliss between Gaea and Hades
The Abyss filled me with emptiness
I was consumed
Her black hair curled around the fissures of my soul
Wrapped me in brilliant silence
Trapped me in her darkness I’m happy
Her eyes two glowing orbs like stars
Reflecting on a darkened pool
Like baited hooks alluringly attractively they pierced me
She gathered me in her arms
And offered a proposal
Of wakeful dreaming as we kissed her twilit lips
Persuading me
Seducing me
The Abyss pulled me into her embrace
Relentless
Like an old lover welcoming me home
I found bliss between Gaea and Hades
The Abyss filled me with emptiness
I was consumed
She enticed and aroused in me
Feelings and emotions
Triggering an urge to collect
The splintered pieces of me
This powerful fascination she evoked in me
Convinced me to gorge on her offerings and be
Devoured by futility
She gathered me in her arms
And offered a proposal
Of wakeful dreaming as we kissed her twilit lips
Persuading me
Seducing me
The Abyss pulled me into her embrace
Relentless
Like an old lover welcoming me home
I found bliss between Gaea and Hades
The Abyss filled me with emptiness
I was consumed
