Day 22 - Beauty and Aftermath

You know when you look into some girls' eyes, you're going to be leveled. You're going to be at their mercy. It just happens. Sometimes it's beautiful... sometimes it's torture. Sometimes it's both. That, along with hardening one's heart to such phenomena, is what this song is about.

Lyrics after the jump.

Beauty and Aftermath

Two sides to every coin
Where light and shadow join
The two-edged blade she wields
Light and shadow fields
A surrenderer's gaze
A conqueror's daze
A balance in the air
Serenity to share

Waiting and I don't know
Which way I am to go
The magic is in the air
Serene and fragile there
Horizon is getting dim
In darkness I'll sink or swim
Here eyes light a path
Of beauty and aftermath

Can I walk this path alone
Can I turn my heart to stone
Can I enjoy my days
Steadfast in my ways
If a cold wind chills my side
Will I wait for it to subside
Or will I cave to desire
Will I long for her fire
