The Embrace

by Father Deitrich Lenoj

It gazes upon me with false Death’s lust
It’s life had been taken , returned to the dust
It stares at me …. pale faced Death
It’s heart still beats , an immortal jest

It survives by the death , murder , taken life
An Immortal battle , Eternal Strife
The creature now speaks , an inhuman tone
It freezes my soul , to the core to the bone

It stands before me , a creature of night
My sanity forgotten , the fear of the sight
It exists without moral , all sins thought so mild
The Devil himself , or at least his dead child

It takes those so innocent for a taste of their soul
The shadows brings bloodshed , death black as coal
It stalks prey so helpless to play this mad game
The prey becomes victim each night it’s the same

It pauses but a moment to observe its new prey
A creature of night , denied forever the day
I saw then at least , I looked Death in the face
Death buried it’s fangs …. coup de grace

Floating in darkness , I feel life at last
In death I am healed , the ecstasy vast
The feeling of rebirth , the cold taint of ice
In a current of joy , I am crushed by the vice

Life fades away , in death I’m reborn
I’m no longer whole , my soul has been torn
It’s essence feels my body , a new life that’s not real
I lie dead in the snow , in a world I can’t feel

I’m no longer mortal , humanity ripped away
Forever the night , denied by the day
My heart still beats , but I breathe no breath
Immortal unlife , no escape from the Death
