I am the majesty of despair
A sorrowful being of broken air

To sing a song with meaning’s bless
Would leave me in my brokenness

Reign on, you queen of shameless pride
And judge me as less dignified

This broken heart cries with deep regret
Recalling dreams it should forget

Memories of a shadowed soul
Tortured by his ebb and flow

Overcome by his charming grace
I fell into a fleeting place

He has me bound within his clutch
And I hunger for his sinful touch

His wicked eyes that captivate
Taunting me to anticipate

Beguiling his way through my heart
This shadowed man tore me apart

Oh the song of meaning’s bless
Return me to my to my loneliness

Make the air I breathe no more
Lead me not to the shadowed door

Give me strength to saving grace
No longer to gaze upon his face

Preserve my pride and wistful air
No longer the majesty of despair
