   Light breaks on the horizon
  the ebbing on the flood
  finally out of the clutches
  pick myself up from mud
  
  the scales fallen from my eyes now
  dark clouds pass away
  no bitter taste left in my mouth
  and i can breathe again
  
  can look myself in the mirror
  while shaving you from my face
  and i'll not be your victim
  i've escaped
  
  all of my senses gave me good warning
  every signal flashed alarm -
  my mind slept under narcosis
  for you seemed so soft and warm
  
  well-schooled to be irresistible
  your world's one of constant schemes
  the mistress of deft seduction
  too devious for me
  
  you tempted me beyond reason
  as with relish you played your game
  to your rules - double cross, deceit and shame
  you toyed with me in many ways
  
  so close to falling
  but by the skin of my teeth
  at the very last moment
  i've escaped you
  from your spider's web i'm free
  
  you sucked the air out slowly from my lungs
  with each new set of your desperate lies
  with kisses you wove your sorcery...
  i believed you time after time
  
  filled my vains with a tempestuous madness
  loved me till i was dizzy and blind
  then froze me out with dispassion
  you're poison of a deadly kind -
  
  deliberately you manoeuvred me
  as your prey, the net was cast
  and for your killer instinct the coup de grace
  but that will never come...
  
  so close to...
  
  all your tricks just don't work now
  i've learned to stand up staight
  i've seen right through your cover just in time -
  i won't see you again
