My lover moves like daylight through the willow leaves
Her beauty steals my senses every time she breathes
Her eyes burn through my soul like a beacon in the dark
For I am but anxious kindling, praying for her spark
He prays in her temple, but he is no saint
He worships her only for the pearly gates
Now he has usurped the hands of Fate
Does she know I am hers alone?
Does she know my heart beats true?
I’d swear fealty to her throne
On my life, I’d serve her well
I could give her seven heavens
But she hungers for his hell
Now he has stolen her away to his kingdom of sin
In slithering silk she lies as the ritual begins
I would barter with the devil
I would beg to take her place
But when I looked back, she was smiling.
She was looking at his face.
So let the sun stop rising, let the Earth remain dry
For my lost love shall be the end of me
Still I scream into the wind, but I’ll expect no reply
For the bride of Hades is dead to me
