Empress of the Void

There you were, draped in the winds bruise
Standing at the crossroad, head bowed down
The choice lay before you in a diamond mine
True love at the end always proves

What were you looking for beyond the black hole?
Destiny followed the sun
And burned a new day in a dark universe
Are you here, in the new frontier?

Here I stand with arms outstretched
Calling to you to walk in to my river
I give you what never existed
I take from you what you’ve resisted

Good or bad we never can say
Why do you bathe in waters of grey?
And cleanse in morals gone astray
When I am here by your side

I can give you colours bred in truth
I can walk with you when tomorrow comes
I can hold you when yesterday dies
For you are my empress of emptiness

In your absence the void deepens
The blade of hope breaks upon this dark stone
The moon calms my devoured soul
You are the one who swims with me when the river’s gone

Seeking what you’ll never find
I can paint your dreams
And watch them come alive when you wake
Why follow for what is never as it seems?

I can watch over you in your darkest hours
Sing to you when pain is paramount
And wipe your tears when you lie in fears
Until tomorrow, follow me and tomorrow never dies.
