Deprived

Once there was a smile

Filled with radiant bliss

Breathing summers pride

In the midst of a beautiful life

Oh, how it danced upon her face

Painting nothing but perfection

Her eyes stared into tomorrow

As fragile wings spread wide open

Through gardens of deceit

Where delusive pleasures grow

She followed a sweet perfume

Into the depths of a twilight dream

There in sunny beams he did appear

With poisoned flowers for his prey

Like a divinity for blind worship

He smiled and reached out his hand

With visions of grand beauty

And words of promised lands

Her mind was slowly intoxicated

By a yearning for that glorious light

Sleepwalking she entered the delusion

Sleepwalking she entered his golden cage

And wings of liberty fell dead

As she awoke from her slumber

Once there was a smile

But now it's dead and gone

Buried beneath a lifeless mask

That hides the wreckage that is her

Another angel fallen from grace

Deprived of all that once was

Unable to see her own tomorrow

And destined to fade away
