Before There Was Rosalyn - The Belladonnamyth lyrics
rate meWar 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 />
