It's a wonderful feeling to be woken up in the morning after a long winter by the sun shining on your face through the cracks in the lowered blinds. When you go out into the light, the air is still cold, the sun warms you, it smells for the first time of damp earth, of the coming spring. The sun warms you... This is the sun's embrace...

Sunlight

Black velvet lips, cold as a knife
She whispered love, and drained my life
A thousand truths inside her kiss
But every one, a venomous twist


(She pulled me in…)
Wrapped in her grace
(I knew the end…)
But longed for the taste


In the serpent’s embrace!
I found heaven in disgrace
She held me close, then disappeared
Left me drowning in my fear
In the serpent’s embrace!
No escape, just her trace
Still I crawl back… just for one more taste


She danced in fire, but never burned
I gave her all, and got no return
Her shadow carved into my bones
Now even silence sounds like moans


(I felt alive…)
When I should’ve fled
(I kissed the blade…)
And bled where I was led


In the serpent’s embrace!
Where the night won’t leave a trace
She wrapped around my heart like chains
Sweet as poison in my veins
In the serpent’s embrace!
I was lost in her space
And I’d do it all again… in disgrace


“She said love was just a trick of the light…
and I followed her into the dark.”

Now I’m just a scar… that still whispers her name…

In the serpent’s embrace!
Where my soul lost its place
Her kiss still burns across my skin
Like a sin I’ll die within
In the serpent’s embrace!
There’s no saving, no grace
Just her smile… as I fall from grace

“I never asked to be saved…”
