Higher Ground -

She promised me life, she gave me death

She wispered to me words I couldn’t understand

High upon the hill, sitting on your throne

The darkness waits around you, all alone

When all was right and done

Tears drying from the sun

The fairytale begun (higher ground)

I stand right here, won’t run

I take the higher ground

Her skin, like warm silk, sets fire to the touch

Her eyes shone like stained glass full of lust

This shell is all but broken now

Forgotten like the last of fallen snow

When all was right and done

Tears drying from the sun

The fairytale begun (higher ground)

I stand right here, won’t run

I take the higher ground

She licked her lips like a siren’s call

A flower in full bloom

Carried like the child of a whore

Forsaken in the womb

Held tight in your warm embrace

A lonely mock tear fell

She smiled, and with a kiss she broke the spell

When all was right and done

Tears drying from the sun

The fairytale begun (higher ground)

Now I won’t be the one

I slowly come undone

Still feel the fight is won (higher ground)

I stand right here, won’t run

I take the higher ground
