Last Surrender | ||||||||||||
![]() |
||||||||||||
A cold chill in the air Stars flutter in their death throes I look to see no path before me Eyes blinded as my pain overflows All that I was now cast aside Chains dangle noisily Free to drag behind me as I stumble My anchor gone now adrift forever All sense of me begins to crumble My heart has nowhere to hide My bruised soul in tatters Bleeding love away in scarlet tears This slave torn from all she knows Miscarriage of blind devotion to fear A sweet surrender has died Locked within a dead heart A flame of quiet hope slowly reignites Flickering warmth stealing the coldness Desperate lonliness concealing the light Yet hope remains burning inside |
