Higher Ground

She promised me life, she gave me death
 She wispered to me words I couldn't understand
 High upon the hill, sitting on your throne
 The darkness waits around you, all alone
 When all was right and done
 Tears drying from the sun
 The fairytale begun (higher ground)
 I stand right here, won't run
 I take the higher ground
 Her skin, like warm silk, sets fire to the touch
 Her eyes shone like stained glass full of lust
 This shell is all but broken now
 Forgotten like the last of fallen snow
 When all was right and done
 Tears drying from the sun
 The fairytale begun (higher ground)
 I stand right here, won't run
 I take the higher ground
 ♪
 She licked her lips like a siren's call
 A flower in full bloom
 Carried like the child of a whore
 Forsaken in the womb
 Held tight in your warm embrace
 A lonely mock tear fell
 She smiled, and with a kiss she broke the spell
 ♪
 When all was right and done
 Tears drying from the sun
 The fairytale begun (higher ground)
 Now I won't be the one
 I slowly come undone
 Still feel the fight is won (higher ground)
 I stand right here, won't run
 I take the higher ground
