Self Preservation has kept you alive
With moderate happiness.
What right do you have to touch the sky?
To feel unearthly bliss?
What voice is that you listen to?
What demons do you hide?
Your heart you deny, fate you curse,
Why must you hold it inside?
How can you let go once more
Of a love you know to be right?
You've turned away so many times,
When will you give up the fight?
At the edge of love you solomly stand
So afraid to fall
The angels sing, "Open your wings,"
But do you hear their call?
Centuries of denial, lie,
Behind your minds eye
If you stand that cliff with bound wings
How are you to fly?
Your mind screams indecision
As you foresee certain defeat
Fear overwhelms you
And your heart makes it's retreat.
Run to that dark cavern,
To where your fears lie,
Run away in silence
As the angels softly cry.
You bound your wings with your choice
To turn true love away,
Now you will live in the pain of your fear
Forever from this day...
