When the day dies, I will live
When the sun drowns, I will rise
And you don’t know all that I’d give
Just to see the light through your eyes

I will take your heart, take your mind
It doesn’t matter what the cost
And yet still never can I find
The palest ghost of what I’ve lost

Chorus:
I will find it, I will take it
I will tear it out of your soul
Oh, you know how much I want it:
Your innocence to make me whole

You had it once; I never did
You have it still—you have my hate
Your secret child that always hid
While mine was murdered by my fate

You never knew your greatest gift
Can’t understand the way I can
The way it feels to bear this rift
Watch it blow away with the sand

Chorus

They say I can’t feel what I do
Can’t desire what I’ve never known
But still this need has yet imbued
A rage forever sharper honed

Consumed by the hunt, torn apart
My very being has come undone;
Blades of envy cut out my heart—
I have become the soulless one.

Chorus
