Lead

Amok through endless tides of people
desperation gnawed at his mind
Seeking a means for a way to save it all
A fight that never ends
With her picture clawed at his chest
His face full of despicable unrest
He makes his way through the crowd
His eyes filled with shadows
Nerves frozen, stoned face of horror
With deathly cracked chins
Nobody care about his terror
No one Knows his ice is running thin
A fight with destiny, and it's storming course
Engulfed by maddening fear
About to cross the river Styx
For a piece of heavenly promise

My love will save your life
Together we will defy the gods
Your being inspires me
To be the strongest man I can be

Beloved one, don't be afraid
Our love is beyond these mortal fares
Even though death sets us apart
We will surely meet again
Please don't leave me in these last moments
Find me comfort in my transcendence
Would you really sacrifice our last communion
For a rebel hope against my destiny

But still he ran away in search of the miracle
Determined to find her cure, he heard of a strange wise man
He is said to save human lives, but for a sacrifice
No one knows how, but he is his last desperate chance

I'll save your love, but you must know
That's not the way it should be
What life must give, death must take
That's been for eternity
So now you have to pay, with another life
The blindness of our reaper
The laws of balance shall not be crossed
By any kind of being

Now he is waiting on an empty street, for the lamb to show up
The knife glinting in his trembling hands of dark passionate soul
He seizes a passing innocent, knocks him out on the ground
But his consciousness refuses to obey his abject need for murder

No, I can't
I can't be a killer
How can I pay
death it's dues?
The ice
is getting thinner
And my light
is subdued
Come, my darling, I found a man who'll heal you
I'm taking you there, just hold on a little more
Here is my ultimate sacrifice, you wise man
Better not fail for I'll come and haunt you back

So he took that knife, and cut his throat
No hesitation, no coming back
His eyes rolled from the floor
Down from the blood pool
Fixed to her face of awe
Engraved on his glance
The same desperate hope
That her love will live
Regardless of him
Or his destiny's path
Death, do not dare
Stop her dance
