Symphony X Wicked Lyrics

Wicked Lyrics

Alone I traveled through the mountains 

Led by a star fading west 

When I came upon an ancient ruin of a church 

and it was there I stopped to rest 



Then the black and gloomy night that chased my footsteps 

crashed down on me like a wave 

Whispering through the trees and eerie breeze 

carried a voice beckoning me to be her slave 



In a whisper she said... 



Burn forever 

Leave never from my arms 

Embrace the night 



From the black and twisting shadows rose a woman 

beauty alluring to the eye 

Oh her devilish grin, her moonlit skin 

and long dark hair flowing down around her thighs 



As she approached I felt the evil growing stronger 

I waltz with the wicked within 

Frozen in my place, she kissed my face 

and in a storm of passion bathed me in sin 



In the madness...she said... 



Burn forever 

Leave never from my arms 

Embrace the night 



Then she weaved a mist - and cast me into the shadows 



"Come with me, love eternally, forever mine"

"Set me free - in death we'll dance eternally forever and ever..."




As so the light, cast down from the heavens, 

washed over me like wave 

I awoke, it seems, from some crazy dream 

only to find I was standing at her grave 



In my nightmare...she said 



Burn forever 

Leave never from my arms 

Embrace the night 



Burn forever 

Leave never from my arms 

Don't ever leave me- never leave me 



Burn forever 

Leave never from my arms 

Embrace the night
