Forbidden Like Lakme

In the shade of jasmine trees

She sang to gods and whispered breeze

Eyes that knew no foreign flame

Till he walked in and said her name

Sacred vows, ancient walls

But love it answers no one's calls

They warned her not to dream too loud

But dreams can burn when hearts are proud

You were forbidden like Lakmé

But I kissed you anyway

Hearts entwined, truth in bloom

We were dancing toward our doom

You were forbidden like Lakmé

But I couldn't look away

Now the garden knows our sin

And the night won't let me in

Veils of silk and lotus tears

She counted stars to calm her fears

A dagger wrapped in lullabies

No temple saves when true love dies

Holy lies, sacred names

Still nothing ever feels the same

They called it wrong, they called it fate

But love arrives abreast too late

You were forbidden like Lakmé

But I kissed you anyway

Hearts entwined, truth in bloom

We were dancing toward our doom

You were forbidden like Lakmé

But I couldn't look away

Now the garden knows our sin

And the night won't let me in

We carved a world the gods denied

Where even music couldn't hide

She drank the dark, she closed her eyes

Then I still feel her last goodbye

You were forbidden like Lakmé

But I kissed you anyway

Hearts entwined, truth in bloom

We were dancing toward our doom

You were forbidden like Lakmé

But I couldn't look away

Now the garden knows our sin

And the night won't let me in
