Goddess, I do confide
I wish to be your God
To be your worshipper and idol
To be your closet friend
~*~
I'd stand beside you
Through war and peace
I'd protect you
Through life and death
~*~
I take this life of mine
And give it to you
Please butcher me with your teeth
Chew me up and swallow me down
Hide me in your heart
Split it apart, take me out
Only to butcher me again
You are my gentle rain
Let my blood become yours
I am broken
Yet you piece together my puzzle
A perfect picture made by your hands
You gave this dead man life
I can give only myself, my heart and soul
~*~
Will you take my gifts?
To hold next to your heart
Will you take my love?
And give yours in return
~*~
I forget all past mistakes
And think only of our future
Wanting to make it the stuff of legends
Merlyn and his Nimue
The Dryad and his Bardess
~*~
Out of the darkness
Glows a candle, glows hope
Hope of better days
And better nights
~*~
This is my Y Gwyr Yn Byn
My truth against the world
I need you to be my Nimue
I need you Bardess, to sing a song for me
A song to set spirit free
Burning rose
Stabs at my heart
Blood runs free
Pain filled emotions
I bleed ecstasy
~*~
Burning rose
Bleeds me true
I hurt through this pleasure
Sacrificing my soul
To a burning rose
~*~
I kiss this rose
So cool to the touch
Melting happiness
Devoted love
To a burning rose
~*~
It is I who set this fire
It is I who was the match
Burning away, I take up the ashes
Cut open my chest
And place the ashes upon my heart
So that the rose and I are never apart
~*~
Burning rose, I love you so
I have your picture in my mind
Right next to my future plans
I want this to never end
Never burn out
And I will always love
You, my burning rose
Chalice filled with blood
Crushed rose petals sprinkled in
Slamming it back
Tastes so sweat
~*~
Rose blood warms my soul
Sending shivers of love throughout
You, the cause without doubt
You sing my song
You are my song
~*~
Take up the chalice yourself
Take my blood and oak leaf mead
Have a part of me
Drink the essence of my aura
Smoky emerald mist, you breathe in
~*~
Lava rock, smoky mountaintop
Misty Greenwood, cool crystalline lake
We are the angels in the sky
Let this union never die
Let us instead fly
~*~
Holy blood
Burning rose
Shattered wand, repaired
Entwining together
Wand and rose, one
Walking through fire
Banishing evil as it comes
You are a knight in shining armor
You saved me from my darker half
It was you who rid me of the blackened man
~*~
The worm inside
Has given up and died
You caged the worm
Trapped him with your light
You sent it away
Never to return, he is destroyed
~*~
The hurt it caused, forgotten
Instead replaced by your love
By your perfect smile
~*~
Blackened man leaves no scars behind
No reminder he was inside
All that remains of him are a few pages in a book
No longer strong, this weak worm dies
Paralyzed by your eyes
By your perfect smile
~*~
I have been cured of my blight
And now comes the time to rest instead of fight
Rest in your silken arms
Looking into those bottomless eyes
Kissing your perfect smile
