That perfect moment That perfect night along the water I saw light Yes, I saw your Light And I've built cities for you But you never seemed to wonder why
Heavens I tried And Heavens denied You put a blade right through my chest And released my madness
I've given it all I had My sacrifice, my mercy Once more you've hurt me just the way you can Once more I pay the price My black pearls to the swine Once more you're breakin' open wide My gates to midnight My gates to midnight
Dark angels at my side They lead the way Back to familiar places I'd been leaving behind Back to the stones unturned Back into black confined My home across the Great Divide
Inside a crown of thorns My heart obsessed For I can't love you anymore Nor any less...
