Black Vatican

[Verse]
Preaching to the wicked, on the tenets of ire
A sermon of malevolence for the unwise
I feel a change swelling inside

A terror manifesting itself to the light
I can't stop and why would I try?
Becoming what I long denied

[Pre-Chorus]
There isn't a safe way that I could ever tell you
And I won't remember this battery that befell you

[Verse]
The gold and black emerging through the white of the eye
Unretractable claws of the vile
I feel a change swelling inside

I'm girding for the purging of myself in the fire
Seeing red until I go blind
Becoming what I've long denied for all this time

[Pre-Chorus]
There isn't a safe way I could ever tell you
And I won't remember this battery that befell you
And yet again I waken to an unfamiliar place
I'm dreading this is the day the blood on my hands came from your face

[Chorus]
Don't stay, save your life
And leave me behind
Don't stay, save your life
And leave me behind

[Bridge]
Sinking my teeth into you
Hurting within
And I wish it were untrue
But this is what I am

[Chorus]
Don't stay, save your life
And leave me behind
Don't stay, you'd never survive
The changing inside of me
