lyrics

Such a tender heart I could not believe
In the brutal world I’d seen
The defence I’d offered in my stony arms
What comfort could there have been?
What an angel to see only gentle love in my eye
But the devil knows the reflection she sees is a lie

When they found her body in a pool of blood
No one doubted how she met her end
As the mob set out for the godless creature
Who had murdered his only friend
What reason had I to suspect she told me a lie?
What reason had she to care for a brute such as I?

Take me down now
Take me down now
I can’t bear any more
Take me down

I stormed over in a jealous rage
And, God forgive me, I went berserk
But I knew the instant of that fatal blow
It was all the devil’s work
I saw in her eyes, as with pain and terror they brimmed
In cruel betrayal, her innocent love was undimmed

Take me down now
Take me down now
I can’t bear any more
Take me down

I was no challenge for your evil game
My soul is yours, collect it soon
Your fire will but deliver me
From the torment of this forsaken room
Now cold as my broken angel laid on the floor
Condemned to face her betrayal for evermore
