Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What ravages of spirit
Conjured this temptuous rage
Created you a monster
Broken by the rule of love
[Verse 2]
And fate has led you through it
You do what you have to do
And fate has led you through it
You do what you have to do
[Verse 3]
And I had the sense to recognize
That I don't know how to let you go
[Verse 4]
Every moment marked
With apparitions of your soul
I'm ever swiftly moving
Trying to escape this desire
[Verse 5]
The yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
The yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
[Verse 6]
And I have a sense to recognize
That I don't know how to let you go
I don't know how to let you go
[Verse 7]
A glowing ember burning hot
And burning slow
Deep within I'm shaken by the violence of existing
For only you
[Verse 8]
I know I can't be with you
I do what I have to do
I know I can't be with you
I do what I have to do
[Verse 9]
And I have the sense to recognize
But I don't know how to let you go
I don't know how to let you go
I don't know how to let you go
