[Lyric] Unconditional (Stone Healer)

"Wistful eyes breed apathy,"
A teacher once told me
"Longing heart poisons the soul,"
She warned as if foretold

Empathy cruelly feigned
Her voice was taut with pain
"Turn to God, remove your mask
Or your flame will turn to ash."

Like the darkness inside you, you'll succumb to me
(I know what you are)
In the shadows you creep but there’s no hiding
(My hooks in your soul)
Denying your pact is stealing your soul from me

Watchful eyes gleam fear on me
Assailant she proves to be
Languishing heart under her spell
Alone with none to tell
Death for me - is it my end?
I'm told I must repent
"Help me now, or kill me - your choice."
How I longed to stop her voice
