Soulless Love Lost
Marching into battle again
Seeking refuge from your grenades
Sending our soldiers into the war
Chasing away all that is sane
All things are given freely at a price
Unconditional love with conditions
Your betrayal haunts my dreams
Shame on me you fooled me twice
Raindrops in the sun hang from green envy
Long for the heavens to return them
Blades of grass slice like knives
At a soul and heart so heavy
Your delicate soul of glass that hides
Mournfully behind that Venetian mask
Sails alone amidst all the untruth
Changing its course to suit the tides
Angelic clouds cover your light
With beautiful and peaceful lies
Salvation you seek but can never find
Until you start to see what is right
You chose to trust no beauty in me
And so all good has ceased to be
My soul you shredded and you tore
Now I don't love you anymore
