Symphony X Follow

Alone I traveled through the mountains
Led by a star fading west
When I came upon an ancient ruin of a church
and it was there I stopped to rest
Then the black and gloomy night that chased my footsteps

crashed down on me like a wave
Whispering through the trees and eerie breeze

carried a voice beckoning me to be her slave
In a whisper she said...

Burn forever
Leave never from my arms
From the black and twisting shadows rose a woman
Embrace the night

and long dark hair flowing down around her thighs
beauty alluring to the eye

Oh her devilish grin, her moonlit skin
As she approached I felt the evil growing stronger
Frozen in my place, she kissed my face
I waltz with the wicked within
and in a storm of passion bathed me in sin
In the madness...she said...

Leave never from my arms

Burn forever
Embrace the night

Then she weaved a mist - and cast me into the shadows

"Come with me, love eternally, forever mine"
"Set me free - in death we'll dance eternally forever and ever..."

washed over me like wave
As so the light, cast down from the heavens,
I awoke, it seems, from some crazy dream
only to find I was standing at her grave
In my nightmare...she said

Leave never from my arms
Burn forever

Embrace the night
Burn forever
Leave never from my arms
Don't ever leave me- never leave me

Burn forever
Embrace the nightLeave never from my arms
