Symphony X [NJ, US] - Wicked

Alone I traveled through the mountains Led by a star fading west When I came upon an ancient ruin of a church and it was there I stopped to rest Then the black and gloomy night that chased my footsteps crashed down on me like a wave Whispering through the trees and eerie breeze carried a voice beckoning me to be her slave In a whisper she said... Burn forever Leave never from my arms Embrace the night From the black and twisting shadows rose a woman beauty alluring to the eye Oh her devilish grin, her moonlit skin and long dark hair flowing down around her thighs As she approached I felt the evil growing stronger I waltz with the wicked within Frozen in my place, she kissed my face and in a storm of passion bathed me in sin In the madness...she said... Burn forever Leave never from my arms Embrace the night Then she weaved a mist - and cast me into the shadows "Come with me, love eternally, forever mine" "Set me free - in death we'll dance eternally forever and ever..." As so the light, cast down from the heavens, washed over me like wave I awoke, it seems, from some crazy dream only to find I was standing at her grave In my nightmare...she said Burn forever Leave never from my arms Embrace the night Burn forever Leave never from my arms Don't ever leave me- never leave me Burn forever Leave never from my arms Embrace the night
