Lyrics:

she quivers in lust
just in mere minds desire,
she struggles with sorrow and fear.

a story has to die,
the soul needs to fly,
reverberation confines the will.

to open herself
means to let out the beasts
devouring within –

occurring release,
embracing the naught,
inducing the thrill.

blood comes to blood
in this act of surrender
feeling what she’s been cravin’ for.
giving up her body
as obtaining contender
now she isn’t strained anymore.
