I stand without looking within
At the shattered remnants
The inward cost of casual betrayal
By one who pledged to me
...
Feel the warmth upon my lips?
Close my eyes dreaming
A vibration in my soul stirring
...
Temptation is a pretty thing
All wrapped up in modern bling
Sweet deceit
That compels my feet
...
I seize this, a sacred day of grace
Drinking in the splendor of this place
Tranquil voices of gnarled piƱions whisper in the breeze
Gilded lions haunting primeval trees
...
