I Thirst

Let me open my eyes at dusk tonight
Don't drive damnation into my heart
I don't mean to kill, I don't want a fight
Just let me live, a war don't start

Forget your task, release your stake
You know not a thing you do
An angry me you don't wish to make
Go away, child, my wrath has begun to brew

On second thought, come closer, child
Come, forgive me, don't feel cursed
There's something on your throat, your veins are wild
Yes, child, come closer, and quench my thirst
