Niakrad - Skin Me

Skin Me
By Niakrad

Lyrics written and sung by:
Kavian Darkain

[Verse]
Skin me
And what is left? My words
Deny my words
And what is left? My faith

[Chorus]
Crush my faith
And what is left? My dream
Turn my dream into a nightmare
And what is left? My legacy

[Verse 2]
Skin me
The pale skin on vibrating bone
Deny me
The nectar
My truth
The throne

[Chorus]
Crush my faith
Harvest at the full moonlight
Turn my dream into a nightmare
Everlasting infinity

[Bridge]
You're not going home tonight
You're not going home tonight
You're not going home tonight
You're not going

[Verse 3]
Skin me
The pale skin on vibrating bone
Deny me
And what is left? The throat

[Verse 4]
Pure madness in my head
Whispers that I dread
Voices in the night
Pulling me from the light

[Verse 5]
Forsaken I'm alone
Lost within the tone
Echoes from below
Showing what I know

[Chorus]
Blood becomes the ink
Skin the parchment brink
Demon in my soul
Taking full control

[Verse 6]
Claws they scratch and scream
Nightmares in a dream
Shadows start to grow
Terror that I know

[Bridge]
Immortality
Demon's legacy
Living it alive
Fight so hard to survive

[Chorus]
Blood becomes the ink
Skin the parchment brink
Demon in my soul
Taking full control

[Verse 7]
Breed like a plague
Multiply like bacteria
Lay my head on a pillow
In my half-moronic hysteria
Told myself I'm immortal
Spirit made to confess
Imagine the disdain
When I'm proved wrong by Death

[Chorus]
I can't see through the dark
Guess I'm stuck on my own
My ghost haunts the future
And expands the unknown
Of this planet of bones
Civilization is last
To perish the known
To turn present to past

[Verse 8]
When all fades away
What do you pray is left?
What do you try to take into your next breath?
Turn my nightmare into empty
Dark eternity
Yeah
I guess I'll leave
Yeah
I've achieved my appurtenance

[Verse 9]
The horror of night and the boredom of day
Lingers unwavering
When there's no one around
To share the unspeakable things

[Outro Chorus]
I can't see through the dark
Guess I'm stuck on my own
My ghost haunts the future
And expands the unknown
Of this planet of bones
Civilization is last
To perish the known
To turn present to past
