Shapeshifter

Standing together on the moon

I knew when you wanted my soul

It's known your desire casts spells

Create lives and rises tides

You carved your whisper on my skin

A secret hymn the saints can’t sing

About fallen prophets, gods and kings

In the dead of night you heard my call

Feisted on my flesh, rejoiced in my fall

And there was nothing I wanted at all

Dancing at your castle of bones

I hear the echoes of the vows I made

The tirades and crusades for justice

Erotic tales in the language of angels

You've taught me magic and demise

Fed me the bread and poured me wine

To conquer me, subjugate and colonize

Lured into the oblivion of who I am

With ashes and blood in my hands

Singing lullabies written in the sand

I see you through smoke and fire

As the fortune-teller and the liar

The man, sheep, bull and lion

Your predictions and illusions

Your schemes and desilusions

I see the shadow and the flame

The promise and its own bane

And I call you by your name

Shapeshifter

Roaming around the desert

Where I was deserted of innocence

My penitence was loving too much

Until it became punishment

You come to me like death itself

Wanting to know me like yourself

Deceiving through glory and wealth

Dare my love to survive your curse

Change my oath, change my words

Throw me to the fire and let me burn

You'll never make me feel less

You'll never make me love you more

When I came back from the dead

I said I wouldn't die anymore
