Lyrics

This velvet claw
Teases you, caresses you
Makes you beg for more
This heart of glass
Shatters like a glitterball
Spilling fragments of the past.

Do we ask too much
Of your Midas touch
A Lionheart that nothing pulls apart
Let nothing tear us apart....

Ghosts of mortal shell
Staring at the teeth
Of a storm we cannot quell.

Do we ask too much
Of your Midas touch
A Lionheart that nothing pulls apart
After every high
Comes a crashing low
No more sweet perfume
No more afterglow
Summers gone too fast
And winter’s icy blast
Has you in her grasp
Never letting go
And the cannibal queen
Takes poison from the tree
To set the sinners free…..

When you walk in the shadows
You find out who you are
When you step from the shadows
You're stronger now by far
And these scars
Become stars
Like fireflies in your eyes....

One final serenade
Tears us all to pieces
With the force of a grenade
To the silent grave
All those make believers
Dying to be saved....

Do we ask too much
Of your Midas touch
Your Lionheart that nothing tears apart
And a heart that feels
Is a heart that heals
From the thief that steals
Everything from us
(Oh Lionheart where have you been)
That steals from us
Where have you been....?

Let’s all walk out into the light
Let’s all walk out into the rain?
To live again
Where have you been
Where have you been?
Oh Lionheart....
Oh Lionheart
Where have you been?
