Midnight Muse

She came at midnight, she stole the air
A shadow's whisper, a devil's dare
Her smile was sweet, her eyes like fire
She pulled my strings, my dark desires

Ooh, it was that woman, that midnight flame?
She played me so well in her dark, cold game
A phantom love, no face to name
Now her whispers bind me in endless shame

She knew my soul, my darkest fears
She bathed in my doubts, she lapped up my tears
But in her gaze, I saw a cunning gleam
A hellfire's mistress, wrapped in a dream

Ooh, it was that woman, that midnight flame?
She played me so well in her dark, cold game
A phantom love, no face to name
Now her whispers bind me in endless shame

Her voice was still, her touch was steel
A phantom love, that felt so real
She locked me up, she held the key
A prison world, made just for me

She walked away, and I stood alone
With empty hands, no love to have or own
I looked for her everywhere, for some truth, some clues
But all I found was a case of the midnight blues

So if you meet her, don't let yourself be blind
The love she offers freely, will twist and bend your mind
She's a midnight muse, a perfect cunning lie
She'll capture your heart, then fade into the night
