about

This song is about obsessive love and losing control. The push and pull of infatuation... gone too far. Compulsive behavior is only a small indication of something much more disturbed and deadly. First hand, this track appears on the second Spoils Of Grace record "A Ghost In The Labyrinth", and is the part of the story in which the main characters yearning, has turned to lashing out. the obsession is beginning to take hold of him and he feels need for revenge upon his lover, after she rejects him for the first time. and maybe the last?...Now remixed and remastered, this song can offer the stereo quality it was meant to have before, and is a much finer listening experience.

lyrics

This blood is sacred to me
Atop the highest mountain
Across the deepest sea
If only you could feel how deep this wound goes down
You would have run away
Long ago

You are the reason for my compulsion
The ways I cut myself to watch it bleed
This was the love that destroyed me
The fire that brought me down upon my knees

Down beneath the dirt I lay
Rotten to the core and ripened with decay
If only you would take my hand..
I'd show you just how deep these roots can run
Within

You are the reason for my compulsion
The ways I cut myself to watch it bleed
This was the love that destroyed me
The fire that brought me down upon my knees

You are the season of my disease
The way the tides have turned to pull me down
This was the world that condemned me
What goes around has come around
