Diary Lyrics by Iced Earth

Diary Lyrics

    Mine is pure darkness
    It is as blackness is
    Damn the light which comes from
    You as a moth to flame I burn

    In the twilight of morning I rest my weary eyes
    For the benefits of the nights bounty were many
    My soul has been redeemed (with those of others)

    I missed my love tonight
    Hiding behind the figure I cannot bare to face
    That of a dead profit
    And his beast of burden
    Thorns ripping through his brow

    Skin soft and white, eyes fire and ice
    Just as I recall
    Not longer than nine score
    Certainly food for the gods
    And fit for a prince
    Her throat I'll have it now

    I will have her, she is mine
    Rise of the sun, my test of time
    And when shadows fall on unholy ground
    It¹s time to sleep again

    As consciousness slips into blackness
    I rise to nights warm embrace
    And though my blood runs cold
    I know my love will be alone
    And my mortal heart shall beat again
    Like it did ten thousand years ago

    Forbidden love can only taste this sweet
    Not like the others so incomplete
    The symbolic arrow that pierces my heart
    Takes the shape of a wooden stare
    Now I am the one crucified
    For her immortal heart I'd give my own
    And die for mankind's sins
    But that is not the nature of this beast
    I am denied

    I will have her, she is mine
    Rise of the sun, my test of time
    When shadows fall on unholy ground
    I will make her mine
