Heroine - American Edition

I hold the razor blade up to my face
I feel the pulse beneath my skin
The crimson line describes the outer trace
Of my broken heart within

I thought I was invincible
Until the sky fell down on me

You are my heroine, do with me what you will
This is no time to die, no time to kill
My heroine, my lover to the end
You give me life again, you are my heroine

I turn my mind back not so long ago
When I was cast upon the ground
Then utter chaos rained into my life
What I had lost could not be found

And I thought I'd live forever
My time on Earth had ceased to be

You are my heroine, do with me what you will
This is no time to die, no time to kill
The gentle waves of rolling sea
Washing my demons from me
You are my heroine, all that matters to me

I may have loved you for a thousand years
But then you've known that all along
I always saw you as an eagle high in the sky
So tell me why
Only you hold the key to set me free

And I thought I saw eternity
With my own eyes too blind to see

You are my heroine, do with me what you will
This is no time to die, no time to kill
My heroine, my lover to the end
You give me life again with peace you send
The gentle waves of rolling sea
To wash all the demons from me
You are my heroine, all that matters to me
