A hard-hitting fight back against the torment of domestic abuse courtesy of “A Little Too Late”, an occurrence Hellena observed with regularity at first hand whilst growing up in her Greek homeland.
lyrics
My enchanting fallen angel
Burnt me with his fire.
His tongue lacerates
Like steel barbed wire.
My man so kind and pleasant
One twist, he’s spitting poison
The holy grail of broken love
Our holy war
A Little Too Late to make things right
The kiss of death then the kiss of life
Carried your cross along with mine
A crown of thorns wounded my pride
You made me lose my mind
Crucified by your love
And still I rise.
Said he’s sincerely sorry a thousand times
Promised he’ll slay his demons but
The Devil springs blurs his mind.
My feeble body’s healing
The darkness in my heart disappearing
Claiming my life back
Standing my ground
Won’t keep my head down
For better, for worse,
In sickness and in health
All vows you spurned
Countless deaths I died for you
Saving myself
