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
