Love's Betrayal

But hidden 'neath the mask he wore Was a silent war, their open sore He took her hand, she led him through Their sacred lands, their trust he knew A fateful step, a broken seal An ill wind's breath, the plague would steal She stood pure, a beauty far Stranger from a distant star Brought a plague, his kiss of fate Her people's end, he couldn't sate In his eyes, no truth or care A tribe lost in his affair With silver tongue, he drew them near Promised hope, no hint of fear A devil's bargain, sealed with lies Her tribe's demise, under twilight skies [Pre-Chorus] Whispers of doom in the night, betrayal's cruel hand Hearts fell to ruin, stars weeping for the land Under his guise, they faced the end A tragic cost, her people to defend In love and loss, a curse unfurled Stolen breath from an innocent world No mercy found, their fate was sealed On sacred ground, their destiny revealed A pale doom, creeping in her land Torching dreams like funeral pyres Their love, but embers in the sand Fanned the flames of her desire [Chorus] Hearts of stone, and eyes so cold A stranger's touch turned love to mold
