EverBlaze: 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
Fierce desire, unbridled lust,
And it will sleep in me
Until 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 until then...
It sleeps
