Phantom Angel

She has so many faces

Yet I wonder if I've seen one at all

I'm forever seeking through a world of mazes,

but she leaves me empty in the cold winds of Fall

I dream of her under a tainted moon:

In an all flat desert she is a dune

in an unseen oasis where the sun won't shine

So I kneel down and pray to gods not mine

I pray for light to caress her face

I would behold it in silence till the end of days

Her face fades to black and the dream slowly dies

And I curse the moon and her soul-tearing lies

In your eyes, only seen in dreams,

in your eyes lies the glint of Eden

It is written in a sky coloured crimson

by a sun which is forever sinking

It is written in a tear like a pale crystal

born from her eye of angelic cobalt

Her tender expression, her eyes filled with gold,

her angelic face and her movement so bold,

her magical presence burn hearts, numb or cold

Forgive my desire to reach out and hold you

You are my one and only reason to be

You are the one that has been in my dreams

You are my one and only reason to breathe

Let heaven deny me for you are all I need

When the stars are right I briefly catch a glimpse of you,

but as the sand slips through my fingers

Time tells me it's just another Phantom Angel

and after each Phantom Angel the pain grows

Then the I inside slowly fades away

Here I am

Can't you see me now?

Here I am,

standing right before you

Forgive my desire to behold the glint of Eden in your eye
