DARK HORSE

There was only one heart

that you craved

he left you with nothing

your own heart bleeding

it could never be saved

he was the everything

took it all away

you , the dark horse

down through the ages you came

only his heart could call you

though many knew your name

the dark horse

that only he could tame

a dowry of emptiness

passion contrived

once filled with promise

you dance now to survive

beauty on a knifes edge

the dark horse prevails

your bed laid with feathers

your sin hard as nails

the one that took your heart

turned it to stone

the hurt of a thousand lifetimes

that came before you , through you

etched in your bones

all the things you lusted after

they didn’t feel the same

the night air your master

the dark horse , your name

you run

when all the passion inside you

comes undone

the only thing you could do

like the wind , like the river

you run

a legacy of broken hearts

only one of them yours

a coven of betrayal

for the dark horse

as you run you feel the wind

through your mane

as you dance you feel the earth

in your veins

in your heart the hurt

the salt of a thousand tears

in your bones

the wisdom

of a thousand years

the dark horse inside you

will never be tamed

his lips

the lips of the one that left you

somewhere they softly
speak your name

you knew , you always knew

he will forever be the one

a child was born

a lone star that shines like the sun

the dark horse spooked

by blood that cannot love

again she runs

　

you can never outrun

your own heartbeat

the past comes full circle

as the ends they will meet

the dark horse

a gypsy in times hands

what time can bring

someday you’ll understand

you close your eyes you still see

the dark horse

running like the river

running like the wind

all the running brought you here

to this place

where your journey

you thought had ended

now begins
