Symphony X – Wicked
Symphony X – Wicked
Alone I traveled through the mountains
Led by a star fading west
When I came upon an ancient ruin of a church
and it was 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 and 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 waltz 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 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
