Black Vatican

Preaching to the wicked, on the tenets of ire
 A sermon of malevolence for the unwise
 I feel a change swelling inside

 A terror manifesting itself to the light
 I can't stop and why would I try?
 Becoming what I long denied

 There isn't a safe way that I could ever tell you
 And I won't remember this battery that befell you

 The gold and black emerging through the white of the eye
 Unretractable claws of the vile
 I feel a change swelling inside

 I'm girding for the purging of myself in the fire
 Seeing red until I go blind
 Becoming what I've long denied for all this time

 There isn't a safe way I could ever tell you
 And I won't remember this battery that befell you
 And yet again I waken to an unfamiliar place
 I'm dreading this is the day the blood on my hands came from your face

 Don't stay, save your life
 And leave me behind
 Don't stay, save your life
 And leave me behind

 Sinking my teeth into you
 Hurting within
 And I wish it were untrue
 But this is what I am

 Don't stay, save your life
 And leave me behind
 Don't stay, you'd never survive
 The changing inside of me
