Wicked

Lyrics

Alone I traveled through the mountains Led by a star fading west When I came upon an ancient ruined church And there I stopped to rest Then the black and gloomy night that chased my footsteps Crashed down on me like a wave Whispering through the trees an eerie breeze Carried a voice beckoning me to be her slave In a whisper she said... Burn forever Leave never from my arms Embrace the night From the black and twisting shadows rose a woman Beauty alluring to the eye Oh her devilish grin, her moonlit skin And long dark hair flowing down around her thighs As she approached I felt the evil growing stronger I waltzed with the wicked within Frozen in my place, she kissed my face And in a storm of passion bathed me in sin In the madness...she said... Burn forever Leave never from my arms Embrace the night Then she weaved a mist - and cast me into the shadows "Come with me, love eternally, forever mine" "Set me free - in death we'll dance eternally forever and ever..." As so the light, cast down from the heavens Washed over me like a wave I awoke, it seems, from some crazy dream Only to find I was standing at her grave In my nightmare...she said Burn forever Leave never from my arms Embrace the night Burn forever Leave never from my arms Don't ever leave me- never leave me Burn forever Leave never from my arms Embrace the night
