lyrics

I left my home in the middle of the night
Cause of all the rumors you spread
I cut off my hair and rode away
Cause the gallows wait for my neck

You said you saw me with another man
Doing the deed of the devil
We both know that was true
Cause the other man was you

Now shunned in a land where I was born
By a friend, a lover I'd sworn
Time is a thief and love is a flame
Oh the burning shame

Now the hills are my home and the rocks are my bed
This knife of lust in my hand
My heart yearns for a sin
You'll pay for what you did

I crawled back to where he lay
He's a sleep, a reflection in my blade
His skin like marble, his smell so sweet
My face will be the last thing he sees

I dug my blade down his throat
His final words...I wrote
As he lie dying I whispered "Let it be"
Then I dug the blade in me
