Don't Turn Your Back

I had the feeling that I was not alone

Felt alive when I met those eyes,

they mesmerised

Revealed the rainbow

she hides beneath the black

caught in rapture,

caught in the web,

caught in the trap

My veins are filled

with poison found in shadows of the past

Revealing truths I wished I'd never see

Blinded eyes now open,

I am left alone

Not worthy of the gift she gave to me

Don't turn your back

Don't break my gaze

I feed your pride,

I seal your fate

Don't turn your back

Don't turn the page

For there is strength in ancient ways

I had the feeling

there must be more to find

No sense of danger,

the passions died,

I'm wasting time

Dance of ages summons me to life

AN invitation into the dream

I'd prayed to find

My veins are spilling crimson

all the power ebbs from me

This sacrifice of blood that I must pay

The cards I dealt

for solace show damming prophecy

And I can't live to see her walk away

Don't turn your back

Don't break my gaze

I feed your pride, I seal your fate

Don't turn your back

Don't turn the page

For there is strength in ancient ways
