Perpetual lie

By Silver Spectre

If I loved her--if I died for her

Would it have any meaning
If the next time we met
In the next life she wept
Cursed me for leaving
Tried me for bleeding
Still blaming me for believing
Her life was worth saving

From the blade I'm still receiving
She licks the blood of my eternal being
And savors some satisfaction
This everlasting ritual
Now her new thing to believe in

But it's no different now
She needs me more than ever
The pain we feel inside
The same as that crooked knife
Deliverance, my only wish
Still trying to break free
From these chains of a perpetual lie

A former member wrote: Mmm...yes, "If I loved her--If I died for her, Would it have any meaning" That phrase just catches me...I just keep going back to it.
