BLADESONG

Can you hear the blade singing
Its sweet song drowning out my fear
It sings of our reunion
A marriage of edge and skin
It promises gentle surrender
A lie I have fallen for before

And after each time I make a vow
To resist the siren call
As a survey the damage done
The shipwreck of my flesh

But the pressure builds and builds
And the song grows ever stronger
“one more time” is the call
But I know the truth now
That one day I will sink too deep
And empty myself on its point

So I call on all to help me
Resist its dark embrace
And to speak to me loving words
To drown out the deadly song
