black devil with silver wings

Black devil with silver wings,
Reuniting contradictory things,
Fallen, always rising,
Craving but despising
All the world can offer,
I'm dead serious but a bluffer
And tonight out on the loose
In search for another bruise,
One more scar on my face
To carry with angelic grace.
To your prayers I turn deaf,
Your crucifixes make me laugh,
A stake through my heart
Won't do - my heart is hard,
And there's poison in my veins
Running straight from my brain.
I'm not easily killed
And my shoes can't be filled.
Try to cut me from your systems -
They'll crash however you twist them.
I'm the guardian by you bed
And the dark voice in your head,
One hand holds a red rose in bloom
While the other spells your doom.
Black devil with silver wings,
Reuniting contradictory things,
Fallen, always rising,
Craving, yet despising
All that you could ever give,
Deeper inside you than you'd believe.
