TIK-TOK,TIK-TOK

The cruel hands of time
Takes from us, all we hold precious
Yet I'll always be there
Hovering over you, like a humming-bird

I’ll be there, always loving
Always forgiving, and never forgetting
Never forgetting the love in your eyes
How the pain runs deep in your eyes

Prepared many of speeches for you
Yet under the spotlight
In the heated glare of the limelight
All I could utter was; I love you

Time crawled, moments thawed out
All stood frozen, still, but the
Mist in the air

I held you again, yet
My tears I could hold no longer

It all felt right again,
Felt as though we were one again
It was as if we could mold

Your tortured soul
Your aching heart
I pled guilty to both

Love don't you know
I would give my life for you
Precious forgive me

In a wretched world
One of demons and devils I remain
Bitter hatefilled creatures keep me
Surrounded, I struggle to retain sanity

Fiends Feed on my love and youth
Driven, desperate to penetrate my soul
Determined to devour it whole

Their supply of hate deems endless
I'm relentlessly teased by their ways of sin
Yet the love in your eyes
Remain my only source of strength

Hope my tower of power
Tower who’s walls I'll defend to my end
I am as Phoenix rising from ashes to flight

Now as hope has set my wings aflame,
I'll light-up the sky, blazing with hope

Hope to fall in love with you all over again
Hope of holding your hand, kissing your lips again
Hope of laying with you, sleeping in peace again

My love, every night and everyday
I could not hear your cries
Not being there, my greatest crime

Father Moonlight, he never told me
No longer will he speak to me

There was a pause, crawl of time ceased
The silver light broke through clouds
Moon seeped through the broken clouds

The clouds of pain and sorrow in her eyes
Life rushing through me like new blood
Barriers fall, collapsing before my eyes

Soft fingers of the morning current
Run through her hair, fainth I can hear,
Hear a whisper in the wind,

It is love reminding me once again
With a whisper in the gentle breeze:
"YOU MUST BELIEVE".
