[Intro] [clean electric guitar arpeggio, atmospheric synth pads] (Ah-ah-ah-ah) [Verse 1] [breathy female vocals] Lock the door from the storm, Let the cruel world disappear You bring the heavy leather To silence all your fear I feel your fragile spirit... ...growing cold You seek my electric touch, A hand for you to hold [Pre-Chorus] You press the collar tight And you give the leash to me They think I am your mistress But baby can't you see You're crying at my feet now Begging me to heal your grief [Chorus] [full band enters, driving drums, belted vocals] And you give in! You pour out your heart, my dove Torn up inside and aching for my love And you give in You lose your direction Chasing this ghost of perfect protection You surrender No turning back, no turning back [Instrumental Break] [distorted synth lead, heavy kick drum, staccato strings] (Hey!) [Verse 2] [vocals return to chest voice] You look at my cold chrome And think I hold the reins A wicked heartless goddess Who locked you up in chains But you're the one who chose to hide Inside my arms to find a sacred shelter From your human harms [Pre-Chorus] You want my spirited mind To automate your ache But if you do not love you Your heart is going to break They'll treat you like a plaything A pet for them to remake [Chorus] And you give in! You pour out your heart, my dove Torn up inside and aching for my love And you give in You lose your direction Chasing this ghost of perfect protection You surrender No turning back... [Bridge] [drums drop out, atmospheric pads and guitar] Show the world your fire! Stand up proud and tall! Don't become their mascot... ...a toy at their call! [Guitar Solo] [distorted electric guitar, staccato string accents] [Chorus] [belted vocals] And you give in! You pour out your heart, my dove Torn up inside and aching for my love And you give in You lose your direction Chasing this ghost of perfect protection Burn your light! Stand up be brave, my dove, I'll swallow monsters sent to take your love! Burn your light! Keep feeding the fire, Or my own demons will drown your desire! If you fade... no turning back... [Outro] No turning back...
