Angels of Passion
Angels of Passion
BEYOND THE VISION OF BEAUTY
MY SOUL SENSES A FORCE
UNPARRELL TO NO OTHER
MY HEART RACES LIKE A HORSE
QUICKLY I'M CAPTURED
IN A WORLD OF DESIRE
PLAYING HOSTAGE
TO A WOMAN OF FIRE
THERE IS NO ESCAPE
FROM FEELING THE FEAR
OF THE WOMAN OF FLAME
HER HEAT SO NEAR
THE ANGLES GATHER IN ANTICIPATION
THE WIND AS THEIR DISGUISE
CRAVING FOR A UNION OF SOULS
TO KEEP THE HEAVENS ALIVE
HAIR OF GOLD
FROM THE SUN SHE STOLE
EYES THAT COULD CHARM
THE DEVIL FROM HARM
AND THE SMILE WICKED WITH DELIGHT
SIMILAR TO THE SNAKE
THAT TEMPTED EVE TO TAKE THE BITE
HYPNOTIZED BY THE SENSATION
OF THE TIME OF REVELATION
HER SKIN KLINGS TO MINE
SENDS SHIVERS DOWN MY SPINE
HER KISS SOFT AS CLOUDS UP HIGH
LEAVES ME BREATHLESS
AS THE ANGLES SPY
ON A FANTASY
THAT TURNS REALITY
OUR CLOTHES FALL LIKE LEAVES IN WINTER
OH GOD I FEEL LIKE A SINNER
MY SOUL ENTERS HERS
HER THIGHS MOISTEN
WITH EVERY SURGE
SCREAMS OF RAPTURE
ECHO IN THE NIGHT
AS THE ANGELS DANCE
WITNESSING SUCH A PAINFUL DELIGHT
MY BODY TEMPERATURE RISES
THE CLIMAX SEEMS SO POETIC
THIS CANT END
COPULATION NEVER WAS THIS MAJESTIC
RIVER FLOWS INTO THE OCEAN
FASTER THAN ANY LOCOMOTION
A RELEASE SO GRAND
GRATIFICATION WAS WELL IN HAND
OUR BODIES PART WANTING MORE
THE EMOTION TOO COLOSSAL
THE MIND CANT ENDURE
ANOTHER TRIP TO THE ELYSIAN FIELD
AS THE WEARIED ANGELS HEAL
FROM THE SIGHT SO ANIMATED
THE HEAVENS EXPLODE
DESTINY AND FATE COLLIDE
AT THE UNION OF OUR SOULS
IN HER WEB I LIE
BLISSFUL AND PRECARIOUS
SHE TURNS AND SIGHS
BY THE LOOK IN HER EYE
I KNEW IT WAS NEAR
THE STING OF THE SCORPION
MY LOVE WAS SINCERE
I REACHED OUT FOR SALVATION
FROM THE BURN SO SEVERE
HER LOVE MY DEMISE
NIGHT BY NIGHT TEAR BY TEAR
SHE'S LEFT ME FOR DEAD
VULTURES THEY APPEAR
PICKING AT MY MORTAL REMAINS
BUT MY SOUL CONFIDENT AND GALLANT
THAT A REUNION WILL BE SUSTAINED
YEARS GO BY AS I WALLOW
IN THE SEA OF SORROW
MY BODY SCARRED FROM BURNS
FROM THE FIRE WOMAN
FROM WHOM I'VE LEARNED
HOPELESS AND DISTRESSED
MY LOVE WEAKENS
MY SOUL STILL OBSESSED
AS THE ANGLES CRY
THE HEAVENS FALTER
THE NEED OF A JUNCTION
IS NEEDED TO KEEP THEM STRONGER
THE ANGLES TRY WITH FALSE AMBITION
THE ANNEXATION OF SOULS
HAS BECOME THE IMPOSSIBLE MISSION
THEY KNOCK ON FATE'S DOOR
HOPING FOR AN ANSWER
THAT THE FLAME AND THE FIRE
CAN AGAIN BE TOGETHER
SETTLING FOR CONTEMPTMENT
MY DREAMS HAVE GONE ASTRAY
PRAYING TO THE STARS
THAT I'LL SUBSIST ANOTHER DAY
SOON AFTER ON A COLD DECEMBER NIGHT
I HAD AN INTUITION
THAT I'D FIND THE FIRE
JUST BEYOND THE IMMORTAL HORIZON
I CROSSED THE SEA AND THE HILLS
FOLLOWING THE HEATED PATH
MY EYES BURNED IN AWE
ACROSS THE PLAIN THERE I SAW
THE FIRE BURNING SO BRIGHT
HER SOUL LUNGED FOR MINE
GRASPING IT EVER SO TIGHT
TO MY SURPRISE
HER FEELINGS WERE TRUE AND REAL
THIS TIME ITS FOREVER
ALL WOUNDS ARE HEALED
THE ANGLES DANCE AND SING AGAIN
THAT THE FIRE AND THE FLAME
HAVE JOINED FOR ETERNITY
FOR THERE'S A REASON FOR ALL PAIN
FOR TRUE SOULMATES
PAYING DUES ISN'T IN VEIN
WHEN THE WATERS OF FATE
REACH HIGH TIDE
THE TRUTH IS REVEALED
AND THE PAIN AND HATE SUBSIDE
