[Lyric] Gambling with the Abyss (Abandoned by Light)

From the dirge rose to taint her eyes
That forever were tinted by starlight
Blinded they would be, split from the shine
Prey to the hidden wishes of mankind
To take the glow that she held within
And feed it to the hungering wolves that wait

Gambling with the abyss again
With every step out of the darkness
Frantically clawing at her heels to hold
Onto the prize that slips from its embrace
Her heart a burning star slowly fading
Vampires forevеr draining it of light

Meandering through streets of spectrеs
Shadows crawling across damp walls
Stalking and prowling following the shine
Hungering for another taste of its gleam
To stave away the deepening despair
That haunt their follies and solitary lives
Priests of disorder clipping the wings
Of those who would reach past the night
To touch the deep rays of moonlight
That illuminate their winding paths
Laden with serpents in wait
Encircling those who wander too far
