In Praise Of Slash...
delicate chain of love and affection
binds me close to you tonight
so-soft hands hold me down to earth
teaching me wrong from right
there is no shadow
that i cannot learn from
there is no dreamer
that i cannot become
nothing new here...
i don't know myself tonight
i can't quite tell if i'm dark or light
who am i?
empty words of peace, hope, and new life
try to pull me close to you
silent dreams pull me back to sleep
showing me what is true
there is no wisdom
in this world's past
there is no future
that can ever last
nothing new here...
i don't know myself tonight
i can't quite tell if i'm dark or light
who am i?
minor wounds given in passion
hold me near to you, my love
so-cold eyes take me into life
letting me down, not up
there are no chances
that i should not take now
there are no dangers
that we can't face somehow
nothing new here...
i don't know myself tonight
i can't quite tell if i'm dark or light
who am i?
i don't want myself tonight
will you take me whether i'm dark or light
you and i...

sweet silver chiming
traces my footsteps and moves with my movements
echoes of steel
follow behind me and dance with my dancings
black velvet, pale metal
a bond formed of physical strength
and of love
these delicate circlets hold me
tightly
because you will it
and because i love you
gleaming silver
glistens and sparkles in the light
dark velvet
circles and holds completely and well
i am taken and marked
and i am content
