Blackcoat's Ballad

I had been so alone in life Until you claimed my soul The loneliness cut like a knife But then you made me whole You made me feel alive with fire And heat that burned inside You set aflame all my desires And when you left I cried Fell in love with your possession Now you’ve gone away You were my one true obsession So strong I can’t convey Fell in love with your possession Now you’ve gone away My heart is freezing with depression For your return I pray They wouldn’t let us be together The Father cast you out Now I’m lost in this cold weather Alone but still devout I’ll drench my hands in blood and gore Until I summon you I’ll make my way back to your door And feel your warmth anew Fell in love with your possession Now you’ve gone away You were my one true obsession So strong I can’t convey Fell in love with your possession Now you’ve gone away My heart is freezing with depression For your return I pray (And I’ve prayed) (And I’ve prayed) (And I’ve prayed for you) I made my way back to your door And you were not to be found I drenched my hands in blood and gore Only to be let down Returned to find your empty throne And fell down to my knees Your absence leaves me all alone I’m so afraid I’ll freeze Fell in love with your possession Now you’ve gone away You were my one true obsession So strong I can’t convey Fell in love with your possession Now you’ve gone away My heart is freezing with depression For your return I pray
