Heroine

I hold the razor blade up to my face

And feel the pulse beneath my skin

The crimson line describes the outer trace

Of my broken heart within

And I thought I was invincible

Until the sky fell down on me

You are my heroine, do with me what you will

This is no time to die, no time to kill

My heroine, my lover to the end

You give me life again, you are my heroine

I turn my mind back not so long ago

When I was cast upon the ground

Then utter chaos rained into my life

What I had lost could not be found

And I thought I'd live forever

My time on earth had ceased to be

You are my heroine, do with me what you will

This is no time to die, no time to kill

The gentle waves of rolling sea

Washing all torment from me

You are my heroine, all that matters to me

I may have loved you for a thousand years

But then you've known that all along

I always saw you as an eagle high in the sky

So tell me why only you hold the key to set me free

And I thought I saw eternity

You are my heroine, do with me what you will

This is no time to die, no time to kill

My heroine, my lover to the end

You give me life again with peace you send

The gentle waves of rolling sea

Washing all torment from me

You are my heroine, all that matters to me
