    In Vengeful Embrace

    by: Disillusion

    There was an echo, an old sore,
    A bewildering reflection.
    No winds, but cricket chirps
    alongside to the trail.
    Traces before me.
    Something flitting across.
    Maybe a shadow, a famine imagery.
    A pasture on the left repeals my worry
    That no soul had been here before me
    As at this glimpse of joy appeared
    A long lost fiend who spoke to me:
    Welcome, brother.
    Welcome, traitor.
    Welcome, ever longed-for Intimate.
    Repent and atone in vengeful embrace.
    In vengeful embrace.
    I was seized with mere fear
    As at his words I did recall
    A face, a name, my frailty.
    A tragedy in december snow.
    And all turned into rampant
    Tendrils entwined about my neck.
    A mist gathered where suns would be
    And again he did speak to me
    Welcome, brother.
    Welcome, traitor.
    Welcome, ever longed-for Intimate.
    Repent and atone in vengeful embrace.
    In vengeful embrace.
    She burdened me with her kiss
    Bedecked garment in the clear
    Yearned for her in fetters sweet
    That were never meant to release.
    December's virgin snow
    A tender touch at ease
    let luster grow in her eyes
    At our chalet in conceal.
    And she burdened me with her kiss
    Bedecked garment in the clear
    Yearned for her in fetters sweet
    Never meant to release.
    When luster passed from her eyes.
    Again there was this echo,
    an old sore torn wide open,
    This bewildering reflection.
    I did repel, but never repented.
    Oh brother, traitor.
    Ever longed-for Intimate
    Woe betide you
