Your frailty just cost you forever

How tight your grip on the arm of the ghost you talk to While in your eyes shines a painful virtue sent down from him on high It wasn't you that he chose to speak through But still the betrayed endeavor to pay respect to their traitor Holy, but not so whole they still beg to believe half-truths Messengers adopt the pose and peel the skin right from your bones They always leave the heart exposed, they'll always leave the heart Dead from the invocation, bastard names for your incantations And prophecies untold A proper end to your conversation
You'll never take my heart, and you will never take my soul You'll never kill the fire that burns far brighter than you know You'll never take my heart and you will never take my soul The flame that destroys the cold
