Just a small girl standing empty handed against a giant beast
Her clothes are ripped and tattered; her eyes are filled with grief
The breath of her biggest enemy brushes rough against her cheek
Terrifed she stands her ground
Her beloved's cries the only sound
As she shakes from her fear and the tears that hit the ground
Tonight she has to face the one thing that terrifies her.
The darkness slowly creeps around her small and silhoutted frame
Until she's out of sight and ready to begin this twisted game
The fact that she's even standing here brings her to shame
She closes her eyes for only a second and the pain begins to rage
Her heart feels as if it's being ripped straight from its cage
The red-tinged tears get worse and worse on this dark-lit stage
Tonight she's searching for an impossible cure.
His screams begin to fade away although she tries to hang on
Holding him to his word has never felt so wrong
But letting him go isn't an option; she's definitely not that strong
She takes a breath and pulls him close
She's fighting against all odds, she knows
But the only thing that matters is that he's diagnosed
Tonight she wants her love secured.
The darkness starts to fade to light
Through stage one she's made it through alright
But the game's simply not finished by morning light.
Tonight, she has to resume the fight.
