It Sleeps

With my blood I will cause wounds
That won't heal
Because it's not enough for me
To make you feel how I feel
My blood boils
And my heart aches
These diseases consume me
And my love they took away
When I am awake
And on the prowl
It's too late...
Don't fear me now!

It sleeps in, it sleeps in me
Someone please tell me
Who am I supposed to be?
When they have taken everything I've known
Everything I've been
And it sleeps, it sleeps in me
But not completely..
It's burning and raging!
Memories erasing.......

In my blood there are things
I can't explain
I don't know where they came from
But they won't go away
My claws scratch
And my teeth clench
It forces me back
Yet another inch
When I am asleep
And deeply dream
All I can hear
Is a billion screams!

Because it sleeps, it sleeps in me
And I have forgotten
Who I used to be
It has taken everything I was
Twisted and tortured this and thus
It sleeps in, it sleeps in me
But no, not completely
It's plotting and scheming
And it's not leaving!

What is left of my mind
Is slowly leaving me behind
And the heart that beats for me
Is not my own
Like all of me, altered
It causes me to stumble, to falter
I had to recreate my love
Because the one I knew is dead
And when I look into his eyes
My sanity takes it's last breath....

It sleeps, it sleeps in me
The passion to destroy all those
Who have taken this all from me
It sleeps in, it sleeps in me
Unsated desire, unbridled lust
And it will sleep in me
Untill I've turned to dust

It sleeps!
It sleeps in me
A fleeting memory of who I used to be
It sleeps in, it sleeps in me
Will someone tell me
Who am I supposed to be?
One day i will know
And then I'll let go
My revenge will be complete
But untill then....
It sleeps
