Covert Affections

Her conscience warring, a secret game (She plays with shadows) He's the danger, the vow she'll break (In this unholy embrace) Stealing moments in shadows deep To taste a love she can't keep (She prays so fervent) I can be the sin you need to stay alive? (I pray to love you) [Instrumental Bridge] [Pre-Chorus] Just feel the fire And let it burn until the dawn [Chorus] Can you absolve me when I, when I stray In whispers, trading sacred truth for lies (Sins entwining) Wrapped in espionage, a sacred heist (Our souls aligning) She wears a cross but thrills in the night's disguise To cloak the longing she dare not recognize In hallowed halls, her faith's the mask she wears (Her heart's in conflict) But she's caught in his gaze, a serpent's stare (Temptation's consort) Sacrilege sweetens each forbidden touch In his embrace, she finds her crutch Dancing on the blade of heaven's divide (Love's betrayal) She's the saint, in a sinner's masquerade (Truth's unraveling) Seeking solace where the lies are spun To brave a romance never won Underneath her righteous guise (Choirs are fading) He’s the secret she denies (But her heart’s parading) Symbols clashing, a covert war Where love is the rebel she's fighting for
