lyrics

The Seduction

The Earth opens over my head
My eyes extinguish the light
Falling to the sky bathed in black
The dirt which once buried me

As long as you shall be
There's no escape from me

You
Instigate this rape of privacy
Have you only come to torture me?
I'm locked away with everything you fear
All that you've lost but still hold dear

I'll be walking in your footsteps...
If you should lead
Lead me, I must follow...

Seeds like diamonds burst from my eyes
As life's breath now comes to be
Elation of a soul once lost
Are you the ghost of me?

As long as you shall be
You will always have me

You
You can only run and hide so far
From the mirror showing who you are
Once abandoned by the soul in me
What I've feared has come to rescue me

I'll be walking in your footsteps...
If you should lead
Lead me, I must follow...
