Skin that burns with Hades' flame,

there is only you to blame.



Candles flicker with the moon,

you will be coming soon.



The room breathes cold and the lights grow dim,

I'm ready for this midnight swim.



On the boardwalk we run and leap,

a hawkish memory I choose to keep.



These eyes flicker with bubbles vast,

this will be our very last.



Poison fills my lungs with hate,

this goodnight ends at heaven's gate.
