Pantomime

There he stands, among the rest but still far above

Speaking to her with words unknown, reaching deep within

Lead astray by those who judge they finally find what they seek

Dancing through the life they thought they would never find

"Please be careful when you touch

You see, I've never been on this trip before"

"I'll show you a place you didn't think existed

I'll be your guide and shoulder to lean on

Just let go of your fears and surrender to the fire

Together we'll feed the flames of our passion"

Over and over again he unleashes his fire upon her

But the hunger he feeds it just craves for more

All she can take is barely enough

When the fever inside is taking control

All she may have is what she will take no matter the pain she'll not end up outside again

.. (The flames keep getting) higher and higher, higher and higher...

Lost and carefree, afloat on life they feed on the flames

Reality seems just like a dream and the dreams like reality

They're further away from their own yesterday than they ever been before

Further astray not parting night from day, leading stars of a pantomime

They're caught in their play as a life builds inside

Aroused in the act he doesn't know what she hides

Standing amazed by this gift from above

Could it possibly be that He's graced her with love?

But the question remains and it cuts through her heart

Will it strengthen their love or tear them apart?

There in his eyes his anger runs wild

As she tells him the words "I carry your... child..."
