A similar tale to the phantom of the opera with a damaged man finding love with, in this case, a soon to be condemned witch who shares his lust for the darkness but must also deal with his dangerous nature.

Lyrics

You can't change my life
you can't change my pain
come in from the cold
enter my dark embrace

behold my disgrace
beyond the grave
look behind the flame
behold the face of ruin

I can change your life
I can change your pain
come in from the cold
enter my dark embrace

behold my disgrace
beyond the grave
look behind the flame
behold the face

Face of ruin

With darkness upon me
swimming so softly
I hear you call to me again
your angel of music
yet somehow confusing
you don't know the horrors I commit
in a world left forsaken the lives I have taken
can't you see how I need you in mine
the blood we are tasting
the pact we are making
our tale shall live on my dear
but you shall not

I crave our final embrace
your fingers clawing through my face

Face - I shall reveal horrors concealed
Pain - I have endured I'll bring to this world
