So here we are, alone at last And on my own home ground
The lady and the tiger Or perhaps the fox and hound.
Don't look at me like this is something You weren't leading to
You're here because you want to be I'm here because of you.
How many years you've had to wait I bet you fantasized
About standing here before my gate To look me in the eyes
But the more that you investigate The less that you despise
So ask yourself how much your hate Was founded on the lies.
Nothing is...as simple as it seems
What some folks call reality others disregard as dreams
And, in the dark, can anyone determine if the screams
Are of terror,
or of love,
or of pain?
You thought I killed your family Murdered one by one
There's only one boy left and he Turns out to be my son.
I can't blame you for loathing me But now that passion's turned
The raiment that you're clothing me in Shows you haven't learned.
The bead of sweat above your lips The tousle of your hair
The tremor in your fingertips The way that we both stare
The way your breast is heaving Like you can't resist my charms
Now what's this talk of leaving When you're circled in my arms?
No one...
is ever really changed
Free will is an illusion and the willful are deranged
And, in the dark, can anyone determine what is strange
What is terror,
what is love,
what is pain?
In days gone by, the fashion Was to speak of flames of passion
That would live and die from spark to flare to glow
But the spasm of desire Is like lightning on a wire,
So forget the past and let the current flow.
And now you wonder what you've lost Compared to what you've won,
And wondering if the final cost Will matter when it's done.
The one you wanted most to die To pay for all his sin,
Is the only one who can satisfy And fill your depths within.
And I can feel you watching me And wondering, Why this?
There's more here than an enemy Converted with a kiss.
Well, I like having all my pawns Convenient at my hands,
For Judgement Day is coming on And, darlin', I've got plans.
Know this...
it's always been a game,
From order there comes chaos but each one's just a name
And, in the dark, I'll show to you that everything's the same,
That your terror
is your love
is your pain.
