lyrics

Smile, my love, and dry those tears away.
Fly, my dove, you know the world is yours.
Lover's kiss restores all my faith in life.
Close your eyes, love.
I'm dreaming again, for the last time.
And should I awake, I beg you -
Free me of the pain – This life.
My wonderland, frozen in time,
is where I want to be, forever.
You showed me the way to my own Utopia.
Your kindness with conditions –
The threat of losing all
I know that there is no salvation to be found.
Only reflections of the duplicitous
Moonlight. Shining down. Giving us misdirection.
I should have known to question your motives,
But I took the bait and suffer the loss.
The escape is my black divinity.
Dismay, my reality.
She lights my way,
But there’s nothing here for me.
At least, nothing worth admitting.
Pandora’s box holds your secrets,
And they elude me.
I’ve known betrayal in your false gestures.
Am I better off dead or living in your cell?
Shed your skin, and just show me,
So I can know who torments me.
Why can’t I control you?
Ponder alone. Venture alone. Die alone. Alone. But then
I felt the divine speak to me.
Then I felt it more deeply.
Singing curses to my name. I was ashamed.
Your martyrdom is self-serving
And demands innocent blood.
So why don’t you
Spill some blood of your own?
Gladly, spill some blood of your own.
Angelic melody – won’t you turn back time?
Or will you make it rain? Let’s
Unite the stones of virtue
To vanquish evil’s bane.
The essence draws me to this life
To relive memories devout,
But each time I partake of it,
I’m always left without.
Still I fail to
Resist you.
Your aroma
Irresistible.
Play your role and lead me
To the place where I forget.
I seek adventure’s thrills
To feel complete.
So I explore the darkest dungeons
Of my soul. I need to find you maiden.
I need to save you.
But you set traps for me. Attempt to destroy me.
I persevere – overcome each enigma.
And now the master awaits. I’ll find you. I’ll kill you.
You take. I search. I save. Repeat.
You fall. You rise. I kill. Repeat.
What will they do when the hero needs saving?
Just let him die? Just forget him?
Our bloodlines are linked, so conceal the chaos
And wait for centuries.
But now I wonder. When should the hero’s day end?
All legends reach terminus before legends ascend.
