Inner Darkness, Inner Light
By Paradoxology
~ Inner Darkness, Inner Light ~
-The Prism-
You are my heart
You’re my savior in disguise
You’re the wife who never cried beside my grave
Casting the shadow of a snake within my soul
The candle in my cradle made of stone when I’m asleep
Abandoned in a cave so cold and deep, my home
In good times then in bad you were my heart
You are my soul
You’re my husband undisguised
You’re the blade that gently bleeds this tortured
child
Leaving the shreds of heaven's peace within my mind
The shepherd who was eaten by the beast I am inside
Designed by wisdom undenied but slowly redefined
The love that only blood could then restore, my own
’Til death and then ’til life you were my soul
-The Rainbow-
You are my mind
You’re my last and fatal truth
You’re the stillborn lost travail of my youth
Caught in a lonely silent tomb without my strength
The song that joined the sorrow of the deaf so I could
hear
The sound beyond the horror of each word, my voice
For better then for worse you were my mind
You are my strength
You’re my once and future bride
You’re the widow of this ghost behind my eyes
Where I’m in heaven cast to hell without your heart
The moon that ruled the ruins of my world so I could see
The shining priceless pearl above your garden's darkened gates
Reflected from below, a scarlet flow, my guiding star
In poverty made wealth...
In sickness, never health...
In weakness now my own you're still my strength
