Sword

Shadows dance around my feet But I am not your enemy tonight Quietly the city dreams But I am not your enemy tonight I stole the air you cannot breathe I can be your enemy tonight I pull the rug from under your feet I can be your enemy tonight What is worse? You laughed when it hurt You knew that I'd turned You smiled when it burned What is worse, the pain or the flames? I heard your stories, but I lived them all before I was always silver, but it was gold that I strove for I used to hate it, but I can't take it anymore I put down my shield, and instead I hold my sword I hold my sword I try to block these memories But I am not your nemesis tonight These images are taunting me But I am not your nemesis tonight I'll lock you out and hide the key I can be your nemesis tonight I'll make it dark so you can't see I can be your nemesis tonight What is worse? You laughed when it hurt You knew that I'd turned You smiled when it burned What is worse, the pain or the flames? I heard your stories, but I lived them all before I was always silver, but it was gold that I strove for I used to hate it, but I can't take it anymore I put down my shield, and instead I hold my sword I hold my sword Calm before, before the storm tonight You hope, you hope, you hope that we will fight Calm before, before the storm tonight I'll come, I'll come, I'll come for you tonight I heard your stories, but I lived them all before I was always silver, but it was gold that I strove for I used to hate it, but I can't take it anymore I put down my shield, and instead I hold my sword I hold my sword Calm before, before the storm tonight You hope, you hope, you hope that we will fight Calm before, before the storm tonight I'll come, I'll come, I'll come for you tonight I'll hold my sword
