Lyrics
BALANCE©
(MUSIC AND LYRICS BY DRAKO DEO)
1. A PETAL FROM THE BLACKEST ROSE
WITHIN ITSELF THE BEAUTY HOLDS
THE VELVET TOUCH
SUGGEST THAT YOU COME CLOSE
WITHIN YOUR HEART A MEMORY STIRS
A MEMORY DEEP
A MEMORY FAR AWAY
FROM THIS CRYSTAL PALACE
THAT YOU'RE IN
CHORUS:
YOU HAD THE FORESTS AND THE RAIN
BUT ALL YOU SOUGHT WAS TREASURE FAME
YOU KNEW THE PRICE YOU'D HAVE TO PAY
WOULD BE SO HIGH, BUT THEN AGAIN
IN DREAMS OF WONDER YOU HAVE SEEN
THE BEAUTY OF AND IN BETWEEN
AND GOOD AND EVIL IT WOULD SEEM
ARE JUST THE BALANCE THEY SHOULD BE (2x)
ARE JUST THE BALNCE THEY SHOULD BE

A SPIDERS WEB
LIKE DIAMONDS SHINE
A MOTH HELD TIGHT
WOULD NEVER EVER TASTE THE JOYS OF CANDLE LIGHT
YOU SEE THE WEB
YOU SEE THE LIGHT
ITS ALL THE SAME
ITS ALL INVAIN
UNTIL YOU CAN TOUCH THE STARS
AND SMILE AGAIN
CHORUS:
