lyrics

Can’t you see
What this violence brings
What you’re doing to me
Oh, you’re breaking me down
With your delicate nails
You’ve surely pierced my heart
But I won’t let you leave
Until I

Untie the ropes that are binding your heart, wresting control
Away from your mind
Darling I know you hurt inside
Behind those tight lips and dark-circled eyes I see your light
I’ll tame your fear
Darling, you will be mine

Don’t you know
You’ve fed this demon inside
And it’s built a cage
Around your weary heart
But I won’t give in
No matter how hard it gets
It’s in your face my dear
You know you’re all mine

In the dark night I am standing alone with a fire-wrought sword
And you feel it deep down
Your heart and soul are at war inside
I’ll slay all the devils that blackened your hope and you’ll hear the bells toll
Deep in your heart
Life your gaze to my eyes

Don’t apologize, it’s not your fault for breaking down
Just look into my eyes babe, did you think I could do anything
Anything but love you

So here we stand
Blood, tears, and knives in our hands
Against darkness and death
And they don’t stand a chance

Untie the ropes that are binding your heart, wresting control
Away from your mind
Darling I know you hurt inside
Behind that bright smile and shining sweet eyes I witness your light
I’m forever here
Darling, you’ll always be mine
