Lyrics
Betrayal
Cold moon, black sky
I never knew, the reason why
You took my love
Then sailed away
Oh, Betrayal
Long days and sleepless nights
Remembering, when you held me tight
With kisses too sweet
For you to stay
Oh Betrayal, night and day
Did you ever know
All the things you meant to me?
Hear mourning doves
Cry by the sea?
Did you find the answers
To which you sought?
The magic gone away
That you brought
Circles on my dance card
Of when you might return
Ah, but you have things to do
Both ends of the candle, you love to burn
Don't you, oohh, don't you?
Oh my Spirit you will not kill
For truth is tempered
By Love, and is my shield
And although I fall
Love will be my shield
Betrayal will cause me no harm
For truth is tempered by Love
And is my shield
And although I fall
Love will be my shield
Sunlight through the prisms
Bring the colors, of pure Light
Will you ever come again
In the darkness of my night?
And will you ever know a time
When all that we do, is left behind
With memories we once knew
Become the essence, of who we are
Oh my Spirit you will not kill
For truth is tempered
By Love, and is my shield
And although I fall
Love will be my shield
Betrayal will cause me no harm
For truth is tempered by Love
And is my shield
And although I fall
Love will be my shield
(Break)
Walk into the Sunlight
And search the depths of your Soul
You better take stock of your madness
To bar the darkness of its toll
Oh my Spirit you will not kill
For truth is tempered
By Love and is my shield
And although I fall
Love will be my shield
Betrayal will cause me no harm
For truth is tempered by Love
And is my shield
And although I fall
Love will be my shield
