Tempation (Tear Us From Our Torment)

Verse1
Show me the inside
The dark eating you up
Breathe so slowly
That your heart grows cold
Behind red walls you cower
I’ve never seen a lover so sour
There is pleasure in pain
A light splitting the dark
Opposites are colliding
Run if you’re smart

Chorus
I have never seen a vision
That was so clear in body and so dark in mind
I have seen all I need
Enough confusing signals for a lifetime
I perspire over the smallest slight
A sleight of hand to darken the night
Is what awaits you on the other side

Verse2
There is an impasse
An abyss that lengthens
I dare you to jump
Make the leap
Don’t pull your parachute
Your lifeline is gone
I ripped it in two
Like your little gesture, “From me to you”
How many others have you broken?
How many hopes have been shattered?
We have something to say
“From us to you”
We’re sick of your games
And no one wants to play

Chorus

Verse3/Outro
Sway to your own beats
We’ll watch I promise
Believe in our fascination
It can’t be that hard
To tear our eyes away
Is just easy enough to say
Don’t believe a word you utter
There’s a line you crossed
And another, and another
Like the Prince who cast his eyes away
You’re the Girl who wanted him to stay
For your sake I feel I must say
“Let us be free and take our forlorn eyes away”
