Devotee of Heart & Mind

1.

When you were young
You believed in love
We could conquer angels
Then quick-sand moved
& the times did too
You became unfaithful

2.

While your enemies slept
You danced to the sound
Of the drum of your reward
& as the sky grew cold
& your appetite waned
A hell you walked toward

3.

Your favour failed
As the night grew dim
& love became a ghost
& I reached out to you
When the north wind blew
Because you I loved the most

4.

The bravest passion
& the diamond lust
Could never be repaid
When the snow fell deep
On the crowded hills
We saw our fate betrayed

5.

You lied to your friends
As the battle raged
You spun your siren spell
The love you cried
In your heart had died
& you & heaven fell
