Hallelujah [ from my book "secrets of the shadows "]
I heard I was on every news board,
Missing since forever, rumours have soared.
But you don't really care for me, do you?
Not enough to know I was only a myth
So I had to flee before the spell lift.
But if you sing to me, I will sing Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Your act of love was always too weak.
You wanted me, I was small and meek.
I loved me truly and you knew, ya
You hated my flair, my raven hair
You trashed my home, threw me in a lair.
Trapped me forever in a bhool bhulaiya.
Bhool bhulaiya, bhool bhulaiya
Bhool bhulaiya, bhool bhulaiya
You always jaap my name in vain,
When I don't even know your name.
But if I did well really what's it to you?
And if we ever meet again,
I will flip a bird to you and then
But if you sing to me, I will sing Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
I did my best but it's not enough
Hiding away could only help so much.
I did me but then, so did you.
Now it has gone all too wrong.
Been that way for far too long.
Sing to my grave, my grave will sing Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
