Midnight Muse

She came at midnight, she stole the air A shadow's whisper, a devil's dare Her smile was sweet, her eyes like fire She pulled my strings, my dark desires Ooh, it was that woman, that midnight flame? She played me so well in her dark, cold game A phantom love, no face to name Now her whispers bind me in endless shame She knew my soul, my darkest fears She bathed in my doubts, she lapped up my tears But in her gaze, I saw a cunning gleam A hellfire's mistress, wrapped in a dream Ooh, it was that woman, that midnight flame? She played me so well in her dark, cold game A phantom love, no face to name Now her whispers bind me in endless shame Her voice was still, her touch was steel A phantom love, that felt so real She locked me up, she held the key A prison world, made just for me She walked away, and I stood alone With empty hands, no love to have or own I looked for her everywhere, for some truth, some clues But all I found was a case of the midnight blues So if you meet her, don't let yourself be blind The love she offers freely, will twist and bend your mind She's a midnight muse, a perfect cunning lie She'll capture your heart, then fade into the night
