The Pact

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Outside, the leaves are slowly falling from the trees Black clouds are moving in, a storm is coming on Inside the confessional, Angel and I are playing games I'm acting the priest and she is the sinner of all my dreams Dreams, dreams, turn into a nightmare A sudden change on her face, her smile is gone without a trace [Chorus] Nothing, nothing, nothing "Nothing is forever," she said So many things are wrong in here, so many times I've lived in fear A year ago, I signed a sacred pact and if you love me, so will you." [Post-Chorus] Then she told me of the pact, her tears were not an act And they were not alone, all my dreams shattered to the bone [Guitar Solo: Andy LaRocque] [Bridge] I fell to my knees in prayer but, oh, this is Hell [Guitar Solo: Glen Drover] [Verse 2] The pact is so powerful, it leaves you no way out Unless within a year, someone else will sign it in blood Someone to take your place, to guard this evil Church Another wolf to roam the hills, another wolf in for the kill [Chorus] Nothing "Nothing is forever," she said So many things are wrong in here, so many times I've lived in fear A year ago, I signed a sacred pact." [Verse 3] If I sign it now, Angel will be free to go She must leave without her memory, no more a wolf but as a lady And if I don't, then in seven days she will die before my very eyes Either way, I'll never see her again [Pre-Chorus] If I sign then I must stay and only leave as a wolf for prey [Chorus] Nothing, nothing, nothing "Nothing is forever," she said So many things are wrong in here, so many times I've lived in fear A year ago, I signed a sacred pact." And now I'm signing it for you
