Soul Savior

I never dreamed when we first met

and I saw your perfect face

That we'd be here, our lives entwined

our hearts in love's embrace

Until our lives became as one

my own did not exist

The night grew long, the years passed by

no meaning to persist

I saw you there in day's gray hue

rains freedom from the night

Your chocolate eyes that dared to see

my secrets in the light

You didn't run or hide from me

my dark black soul-less eyes

You chose to stay and challenge fate

and saw right through my lies

Your mind a secret, thoughts unknown

my useless powers wrong

You woke me up and made me see

what I'd searched for so long

Your heart beats fast when I am near

if mine could sing for you

What I would give to breathe your air

there's nothing I can do

My life was taken long ago

my soul lost on the way

I will not let you give yours up

there's nothing you can say

I would not ask you for your life,

for you to pay the toll

But instead of losing everything

you've helped me find my soul

And now we dance forever changed

my stone heart still beats true

with rain or sun at heaven's gates

I'll be there next to you
