Temptation

A stolen glance in the moonlight

A subtle touch and I believe again

Trying to feel our wary steps

In the darkness that is sweet

Like the red wine on your lips

Just like the illusions that I'll miss

When finally this all slips away...



Dreaming under torrid ruins

The embers fade into the mist

And I could scream but I must pretend

The world hasn't changed

And I am the same



But I know the distance will slowly withdraw

And dreams will fade away



...Still the shadows of hurtful doubts

Oh they fill my sleepless nights...



Finally adrift in the shelter of dreams

All I see is the deceitful eyes of love...



Still your lies are sweeter than any truth I've heard

And so, for now, I don't even mind

Dreaming under torrid ruins
