Danced with the Devil
and he smiled as he stole my soul
Spun me around with every step
until I lost all self control
We have all been wounded
in someone elses war
And gained strength in vengence
trying to settle the score
But I never did find
what I was searching for
Each lost battle out weighs
all the battles ever won
In the aftermath of chaos
We had come undone
Stumbled in the destruction
losing our path along the way
And any turn takes us right back
to the same time and place
Where so long ago
we passed the point of no return
Doomed to keep repeating lessons never learned
Is that not enough
Dreams turned to nightmares
Tell me is this fair
Isn't that enough
Held time still for you
What more could I do
Is that not enough
To save you as you were dying
Isn't that enough
To never stop trying
Is that not enough
When's enough of me for you
Haunted by the ghosts trapped in our memories
They are painting vivid pictures of all we can't unsee
These eyes have witnessd the worst suffering and grief
For too many years my ears have echoed with thier screaming pleas
I was downing pills to drown out the silent cries
I had to be blind not to see the same sorrow in his eyes
Made me question each decision
I have ever had to make
Broke me down til it was all just too much to take
Surrendered my sanity to give him his last breath
Traded faith for reality the moment of his death
Nothing numbs the pain
no words anyone could say
No convincing my mind and heart
there was no other way
No filling the empty void
All of these wounds have made
Only time can heal and cause these scars to fade
Is that not enough
Dreams turned to nightmares
Tell me is this fair
Isn't that enough
Held time still for you
What more could I do
Is that not enough
To save you as you were dying
Isn't that enough
To never stop trying
Is that not enough
When's enough of me for you
Regret awakens demons from the shadows in my mind
Reminding me this is my hell
the deal had already been signed
No sympathy for starting fights
no one could ever win
No redemption after committing unforgivable sins
Cursed for making promises
I knew I could not keep
Punished for your secrets
I tried to bury deep
Choked on apologies just trying to swallow my pride
Oh I hope you know just how hard I really tried
To repair all that has ever been damaged by me
Begged for forgiveness
pleaded down on my knees
But my blood stained hands
can never be washed clean
There is no turning back the hands of time
Is that not enough
Dreams turned to nightmares
Tell me is this fair
Isn't that enough
Held time still for you
What more could I do
Is that not enough
To save you as you were dying
Isn't that enough
To never stop trying
Is that not enough
When's enough of me for you
Cancel the codes
there is no more anyone could do
Called official time of death at 11:52
Sacrafice ourselves until there is nothing more to give
All in the name of love and honor "So Others May Live"
