Let me drink from your candle, love
I have poison, I have wine
I could not relax for another, you know
For the creatures here seek to harm me

I believe she means to murder, and
I pray that she won't succeed
There are devils walking amongst us these days
It's our souls on which they feed

You have sinned, my love, you've sinned
Gone against the word of God
The end of all ends will begin, love
With revelations of theft and of fraud

There is a faction, you know, a faction
Against us and all authority
I wish to make you a dead bride, but
I do not know if I can be chained

There is no life in the river, I know
The fish lie dead in the shallows
You've seen the mud against blue and green skies
I've kissed at the hollow of your throat

I confess I meant to kill her, judge
For she would not keep her eyes upon me
I would beg you to shorten my sentence, sir
For my time is fleeting, and death bites deep

Yet the cell I am held in gives me peace
As I cling to the bars and I weep
The demon behind me won't stop, will not cease
He forces me into my last, broken sleep
