I felt the rain, turning everything to gray.
Numbing the pain, but washing all my hopes away.
It put out the flame and paralyzed my deep desire.
Left me for dead, a burned out shell in apathetic mire.

I was alone, in solitude I plant the seed.
Crying for help, but too afraid to show my need.
And then she appeared, as brilliant as a summer's day,
but bounded in sadness, a sadness only I could take away.


She was so beautiful to me.
A vision only I could see.
And when the clouds refused to break,
it was much more than I could take.


The more I see into the dream, the less I want reality...


You're my earthbound goddess. You're my heavy metal.
You are all I wanted, and above you there's no other.
Earthbound goddess, you're my heavy metal.
You're my ultimate love.


Hiding away from chilling winds and driving storms.
Cold and afraid, I did my best to keep her warm.
And slowly she turned, and opened up her yearning eyes.
I lost all my fear, and chased away the madness from the skies.


She was so beautiful to me.
A vision only I could see.
And when the clouds began to break,
I promised her I'd never wake.


The more I see into the dream, the less I cared for reality...


You're my earthbound goddess. You're my heavy metal.
You are all I wanted, and above you there's no other.
Earthbound goddess, you're my heavy metal.
You're my ultimate love.


Warmed by the sun and in a world so fresh and new.
We laughed and we sang, and danced among the morning dew.
And then we made love as tender as an angel's wing.
My heart was reborn and once again my hopes would ride the wind.


She was so beautiful to me.
A vision only I could see.
And as the sun renewed the land,
I felt that peace was close at hand.


You're my earthbound goddess. You're my heavy metal.
You are all I wanted, and above you there's no other.
The clouds are breaking, and the earth is shaking,
You're my ultimate love.


You mean everything to me, but you're only a dream.
I have to go, but I will not forget you.
