The Unbroken Vow

Here comes the pain   _|_|

Here comes the fire _|_|

There’s my reward _|_|

There goes desire _|_|

Out the window with the flame 

Time to start the funeral pyre 

This is where I’m heading now 

So much for the unbroken vow   

She saw me coming and then she made me suffer in the ash 

Who’d have thought she’d leave me and turn my life into a sonic crash

Everything about her was never as it seems 

When she turned a detour on the road to shattered dreams

I turned around and looked for her she’d vanished in the night

Never had I felt such agony by firelight

Here comes the pain

Here comes the fire

There’s my reward

There goes desire

Frozen future doused the flame

Inner turmoil on the pyre

Passing signposts by the hour

So much for the unbroken vow

Took my breath away when I saw her that day|

She lit my eyes up and then she tore out my heart 

My love breached clean out of the ocean of dismay

Now my temperament is really off the chart

Never in my life had I felt such a killing pain inside

Only when I stopped to think did I realise our love had died

I turned around and looked for her she’d vanished in the night

Now I know what lovers go through entangled in a fight

Here comes the pain

Here comes the fire

There’s my reward

There goes desire

Frozen future doused the flame

Inner turmoil on the pyre

Passing signposts by the hour

So much for the unbroken vow
