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...

I'll bleed for you
I'd die for you
Come back to me
Or I will end my life

Life!

I'll bleed for you
I'd 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...

I'll bleed for you
I'd die for you
Come back to me
Or I will end my life

I'll bleed for you
I'd 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!
