Ondine's Curse

Perfect, how the tide brought your light to my empty shore
How I would lie in the warmth of your soft embrace
How you promised your faithfulness evermore
With every waking breath, a vow ‘til death

Promises were spoken
Your eyes locked with mine
Always will be faithful
Always at my side

Forever, our lives entwined
Your every last breath is mine

Heaven, that illusion of love you crafted for me
While in another’s arms you slumbered in hiding
Since you promised me your every waking breath
With this last curse I will leave you - in sleep, death

Promises were broken
My eyes opened wide
Never were you faithful
Pretending at my side

Forever, our lives entwined
Your every last breath is mine

One lover forsaken
Another denied
Your life has been taken
The price of your pride

Promises were broken
Your eyes open wide
Always will be waking
Always at my side

Forever, our lives entwined
Your every last breath is mine
