Rapture or Pain - Symphony X

A tearless stare

encased by fear

like a thread my heart is torn

and ripped right from my soul

with no control

Suits in disguise then fades to red

brings a blackened sky to fall

and make you very cold

while you grow old

Gone whithout a trace (gone)

it’s left me chained and bound

my heart you thrust a dagger

my life and dreams are shattered

and left in tyranny

Rapture or pain

you spill my blood and take my life away

rapture or pain

all adversions still remain

You’ve realized

you’re not alone

they’ve took your breath of life

and left your mind to unfold

lifeless and cold

Your thoughts erased

it’s death you taste

your searing face

it hides the scars of love

Gone whithout a trace (gone)

it’s left me chained and bound

my heart you thrust a dagger

my life and dreams are shattered

and left in tyranny

Rapture or pain

you spill my blood and take my life away

rapture or pain

all adversions still remain

Rapture or pain

you spill my blood and take my life away

rapture or pain

all adversions still remain
