Wicked - Symphony X

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

Embrace the night

From the black and twisting shadows rose a woman

Beauty alluring to the eye

Oh her devilish grin, her moonlit skin

And long dark hair flowing down around her thighs

As she approached I felt the evil growing stronger

I waltz with the wicked within

Frozen in my place, she kissed my face

And in a storm of passion bathed me in sin

In the madness... She said...

Burn forever

Leave never from my arms

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..."

As so the light, cast down from the heavens,

Washed over me like wave

I awoke, it seems, from some crazy dream

Only to find I was standing at her grave

In my nightmare... She said

Burn forever

Leave never from my arms

Embrace the night

Burn forever

Leave never from my arms

Don't ever leave me, never leave me

Burn forever

Leave never from my arms

Embrace the night
