A Loving Surrender (Tranquility Bathed In White)
Onto your knees
Rest your angered heart
Let it be
Let growls become whimpers
Remove your armor, warrior
These battles, are battles of wits
Battles of wits against the unarmed
Rest against my chest
Shatter thy tears
That borne through your lonliness
No more cold stone to press
In the stead, my hair and my fingers caress
I'll prove it to you, my darling
Thy tears have rivered bayous
And thine pain hath mothered abominations
I'll mend your wounds
Let not the wretched ones scare you
I'm here now
No one is coming
No one shall get you
Rest in my arms, oh fallen one
Thy sword should find it's comfort in sheeth
Glance at the stars in my embrace
Not a crown of thorns, but a wreath
Wound together, bound together
My precious legionnare
The fire may swoon through the air
The ice may harden over us, I don't care
My arms open to only you
No other lover shall do
We could die together on this road, together
And I'd still be there in the Afterlife
Holding your hand
Giving you path to anything but suffering and strife
I am not Mary
I am not a harlot sticking to a lie
I am not Eve
I'm not some whore, but I'll be thine
White robes of snow for you to succumb
Bring down your walls, let hate pass until you are numb
Insipid are those "holy ones"
But I'll hold you til "kingdom come"
Cry no more swamps, no more marshes
This world may seem quite far
But it is anything but far-fetched
My precious
My precious
My precious, lonely one
Look to the sky to see Our Eye
The Moon finally, again holds Her sway
We'll be together
Come that September golden day
Forget all those pains you hold
Turn all that anger into gold
Let it pass
Like a rock in the current
Let it go
Like child's bubble of air
Tear down your armor
Tear down your loneliness
Shred down the attitude in which you have built
Be inside me, and release into seeds spilt
Onto your knees
Rest your angered heart
Let it be
Let growls become whimpers
Remove your armor, warrior
These battles, are battles of wits
Battles of wits against the unarmed
Forget all those pains you hold
Turn all that anger into gold
Let it pass
Like kite in the wind
Let it go
Like an echo jumping through air
You are perfect, no matter what they say
Shh, forget them, they choke on their spit
Let them believe in their Dead Prophet way
We shall never back down, never quit
You may at times be out cast
But I'm side to side with you
Our love shall strengthen and outlast
Lay your head on atop my breast
Hear my beat
Feel my breath
Surrender unto me
For I shall take and comfort thee
No more tears
And no more bright-light loneliness
Here is my rose, my darling
Now set it on fire, precious
And let it show our love shall burn
Forever.......................................
