Sanctify

Sanctify me, make me holy
Sanctify me, make me whole
Sanctify me, make me holy
Sanctify me

I have kissed the evil
Its sweet corruption taints my breath
Gave myself to darkness
Refuge from a living death
Maybe I am fallen
And damned for ever I shall be
Is there something left to pray to
To loose the chains and set me free

Is there some unholy rite
Some sacrifice that must be tried
Must it be the lifted scourge
To quench the fire that burns inside
Submission is not my salvation
Only my suppressed desire
All I need for sanctity
Is to swear by the Power of the Thrones of Fire

Without my darker fantasy
Then all the colours fade away
One thousand tiny cuts of guilt
Leave the world in shades of grey
Do I want the purity
Do I want the sweet release
Must I have my innocence
To free my soul and give me peace
