I came creeping in
cover of darkness
saw the light
heard the rock riff
saw your face
ensnared, barbed wire
visions of him
burned high in fire
screaming, falling, retching,
hands tracing memories in black sand
rope and anchors drag her down
sirens could not make a sound
loud enough to revive
the passion she knew in his eyes
for his strands are painted black
and what he was will not come back
and who's to say who is alone?
who's breaking, broken, hearts and bones
entangled in the satin blue
two souls alive who never knew
that fantasy and bliss decay
they die, they rot, they fall away.
So when cadavers surface in the wake
don't close your eyes, for you must take
one last gaze upon your prize
NOW OPEN UP YOUR GOD ****** EYES
and see what you get for jumping fences
barb wired victim of the trenches
beaten, bloodied, you're to blame
for playing silly lovers games
speak once again the long lost name
strike your match, please light the flame
purging the evidence of your past
slow motion moving far too fast
rock riffs playing in her head
the scene of crime has been fled
betrayed by lingering desire
visions of him burned high in fire.
