Tower of Babel

Held within such tender arms
Warmth I'll forever hold...
Stars shine like a thousand charms
You smile a smile so cold

You locked your own heart
With a rusted key
You're breaking apart
With every feigned glee

A flower without sunshine
Is doomed to die....
A love without sorrow
Is merely a lie

Clutching on to me so tightly
Screaming out in pain
Your voice at the peak of breaking
It's driving me insane

Within the silence of this room
I whisper wishes to the moon
And in my dreams I see your smile
Let's just stay like this for awhile

There's no such thing as forever
But even still let's be together....
And as we bid one last good bye
I softly whisper, one gentle lie

I wish to hold you close
And rid you of your woes
I wish to warm your night
I wish to be your light

I want to heal your pain....
I want to end the rain
I need you....Leon
I lo............

Why can't I make you happy?
Why can't I end your pain?
Why must I watch your sorrow?
As you stand beneath the rain

My roses bloom blood red
My heart it slowly breaks...
"Please forgive me" You said
My heart it ever aches

My love for you is sweet
Like Lorelei's Gold wine
This love can't be beat
I wish to make you mine

Yet you cast away my love
As if it was a plague....
You stain the pale white dove....
You smile so very vague......

Your eyes only see her
She is your true desire...
I am but a mere blur...
Burnt in loves fire.......

Mirror, mirror on the wall...
Catch me as I fall...
Break down my wall...
Just end it all

For this love can never be....
A truth that I now see

Anise:

Sad to say, you feigned blindness to my heart…
You knew of my pain……
How it drove me insane….
You just had to watch it all break apart…..

Leon:

Thy heart needst not of love
Not of morrows wake…
Forlorn wrought from above….
I took for thy sake?

Thou thirsts the blue rose
Its wine so ever sweet….
Seeks what it not knows….
Ice cold in summer's heat……..

And so I turn a blind eye
To your aching heart
A most kindred lie….
That broke you apart…

Please, forgive me…

Please...forgive me
