Cupid Of The Carrion Kind

Cupid Of The Carrion Kind

There in the dark it's the only abuse
Walking frail to the guardian light
There in the dark where the road is a fuse
Strain my ears for an old man's wise

And he said
Will you be a light for me
To seduce to elude to grin?
Will you be a light for me
Walking in for a holy sin?

There in the dark it's the only abuse
That I can't get out of his sight
There in the dark it's the only abuse
When the frail old man he smiles

And he says
Will you be a bride for me
On your knees for a second run?
Will you shoot the sky for me
Stealing streetlight just for fun?

I cannot see your sun so far away
I cannot be four lightyears far away
I cannot see your sky so far away
I cannot see your light another day

I cannot see your sun so far away
I cannot be four lightyears far away
I cannot see your sky so far away
I cannot see your light another day

There in the dark, ten years older and wise
Still there's a frail, frail guardian light
There in the dark, back to preach of the night
See the face of the old man is mine

Gaze of the old man is mine
