Threnody

Fade away into the shadows.
She sucked the life right from me.
How can I forget the years of torment?

Fade... away into the shadows
She sucked the life right from me.
How can I forgive the years... of torment?

Lies, part of her pain.
Cries, pathetic attempt.
To get back inside of my head.

No...

Then she turned the knife
...and looked into my eyes.

And said...

Ill bleed for you
Id die for you
Come back to me
or I will end my life.

Life!

Ill bleed for you
Id kill for you
Come back to me
or I will end your life.

Fade away into the shadows.
She sucked the life right from me.
How can I forget the years of torment?

Fade... away into the distance.
Her look was menacing.
How could I forget her stares... so painful?

And she...
Tries... to manipulate
Eyes... so filled with hate

I begged her to reconsider.

And then she turned the knife,
and looked into my eyes.

And said...

Ill bleed for you
Id die for you
Come back to me
or I will end my life.

Ill bleed for you
Id kill for you
Come back to me
or I will end your...
Life!

I could not help her
I could not stop her
...could not protect her
I could not save her (save her)

I could not save her
I could have saved her

Oh God help me!
