|
I never saw it coming |
|
Somehow the heat of battle |
|
Sure dulled my senses to the real world |
|
Or was I dreaming? |
|
She held my hand and knew me |
|
She looked right through all I knew |
|
Lie quiet, let the rain wash over me now |
|
Inside the royal chambers |
|
She's staring out her window |
|
Tears well hidden by a crimson veil |
|
This is the poison |
|
Clutching a Turkish dagger |
|
By the moonlight I feel it begin |
|
I'm wounded, let the pain wash over me now |
|
Loneliness again |
|
Sits here alongside of me |
|
Gotta make my way |
|
To where the waters heal my wounds |
|
I know this is where I'll stay |
|
Too jaded by her deception |
|
A trust I thought to believe |
|
I just wanna rest |
|
And live out the best of my days |
|
When I reach Avalon |
|
Walking to my window |
|
I'm feeling weak and so betrayed by all I've lost |
|
I'm left here |
|
To comprehend this strange barrage of lies |
|
By the dawn's early light |
|
The war had raged through the night |
|
I turned to her I thought I heard her crying |
|
I could see by her face |
|
Before she laid to me waste |
|
That there was someone she's dying for |
|
Someone else out there besides me |
|
I'm fading, let the fear drain away from me now |
|
My fear's been broken |
|
As the healing waters poured over me |
|
And I begin to feel |
|
Feel its magic strengthen me |
|
I know this is where I'll stay |
|
Can't take anymore deception |
|
I just want peace in my heart |
|
This calm I am feeling |
|
I've never known until |
|
Until I reach Avalon |
|
Lie quiet, let the pain wash away from me now |
|
No beginning or end |
|
All of the roles we pass on through |
|
I looked inside and I saw |
|
My soul's my guide, I need to walk with you |
|
I know this is where I'll stay |
|
The world I've left behind |
|
Has no place in my heart |
|
I can finally rest |
|
And live out the rest of my days |
|
I'll never leave Avalon |
