I stood at hells gate
right there in the flames
and watched you burn.
I had searched you out in
the hell that you made for yourself,
till finally I did see,
you there in the flames,
playing so happily.
I watched the devil
as he did play
and with you have his way.
I did not fight him
for you did invite him,
but I did not want to lose you.
I called out your name,
and reached for your hand,
time and again and again,
endlessly, for ever and a day.
Forever has come, and it has gone,
and past also is that day.
I could not get you
to come back to me,
poisoned, as your mind now be,
so to maintain my sanity,
I had to leave you there,
behind.
They say that true love
conquers all,
and I know that mine
was true,
but it doesn’t mean a thing,
if yours wasn’t too.
So I guess what they say
is really just a lie,
without the love of two,
even true love will die,
and
no thing shall be conquered.
