Before There Was Rosalyn - The Belladonnamyth lyrics

rate me

War wages outside these walls but your eyes are like the sea.<br />

Two oceans that pull and draw me in.<br />

Our hands in one another's,<br />

this moment in time will pass too soon.<br />

History will devour the love between us both.<br />

Consequence will take me from you. '<br />

Forgive me' will be written on the walls of a room<br />

I will paint with the brush of regret and bind in a book<br />

I will seal with a kiss the night this century comes to an end.<br />

Oh my fabled Eve, it's not you but I who still burns from the serpent's tongue.<br />

Take this knife, split my heart in two.<br />

I'll keep half of you.<br />

You'll always be the better half of me.<br />

With your hand in mine I thought we'd last forever.<br />

I hope you understand.<br />

I have to hope we never meet again.<br />

War wages outside these walls, it too shall pass.<br />

With your hand in mine and mine in yours,<br />

I'd hold these gates forever,<br />

but the new millennium will see Ahab's great white whale<br />

traded for a unicorned horse.<br />

I will understand your distance. I will understand your silence<br />

<br />
