Use both your hands to hold me
Tight! Tighter than you should
My heart is coldest steel
But my body’s flesh and blood,
Walking hand in hand with silver,
Close as gold to kiss,
Only lovers left alive
And they’re swallowed in the mist.
I’m your Sword of Light
Won’t you be mine tonight?
I’m your Sword of Light tonight
Going to scorch you deep inside
Make you glad to be alive
Because I’m your Sword of Light.
Wrap tight your cloak around me
And I’ll whisper close my dreams.
My home is such a long way
And I’m older than I seem.
I’ve come a long way
With the good news;
See you need my help.
But don’t ask me to be your guide
I’m a stranger here myself.
I’m your Sword of Light…
HORSLIPS, “SWORD OF LIGHT”
