WARRIOR X

(album: Tempting Fate - 2023)

You fascinated me
Cloaked in shadows and secrecy
The beauty of a broken angel
I ventured carefully
Afraid of what you thought I'd be
But pretty soon I was entangled

You take me by the hand
I question who I am

Teach me how to fight
I'll show you how to win
You're my mortal flaw
And I'm your fatal sin
Let me feel the sting
The pain, the burn under my skin

Put me to the test
I'll prove that I am strong
Won't let myself believe
That what we feel is wrong
I finally see what you knew was
Inside me all along
That behind this soft exterior
Lies a warrior

My memory refused
To separate the lies from truth
And search the past my mind created
I kept on pushing through
Standing resolute which you
In equal measure loved and hated

You take me by the hand
I'm seeing who I am

Teach me how to fight
I'll show you how to win
You're my mortal flaw
And I'm your fatal sin
Let me feel the sting
The pain, the burn under my skin

Put me to the test
I'll prove that I am strong
Won't let myself believe
That what we feel is wrong
I finally see what you knew was
Inside me all along
That behind this soft exterior
Lies a warrior

Lies a warrior

You take me by the hand
I'm sure of who I am

Teach me how to fight
I'll show you how to win
You're my mortal flaw
And I'm your fatal sin
Let me feel the sting
The pain, the burn under my skin

Put me to the test
I'll prove that I am strong
Won't let myself believe
That what we feel is wrong
I finally see what you knew was
Inside me all along
That behind this soft exterior
Lies a warrior

Lies a warrior

The pictures come to life
Wake in the dead of night
Open my eyes, I must be dreaming
Clutch my pillow tight
Brace myself for the fight
I've heard that seeing is believing
