Greatsword / Love as Fire

There's a fire burning within me

(Enough to set a mind alight)

Keeps me safe from what hurts me

That's why it started, but there's burns on my heart now

All cauterized and scarred up

(Doesn't do much more than hurt us)

And I still fight as much as I'm able

(Held up by a greatsword)

But that can't hide all the pain felt

I'm a stalwart soldier, kept warm by a fire

It can burn so gentle

(So why is it painful?)

You can be so gentle, when I get done fighting

Maybe I'm a lover, not a soldier struggling

You're my shield, loyal light

A gentle warmth in the blackest night

I'm your charge, you're my guard

So I'll just stay right by your side

I forget myself sometimes

When I'm lost then you remind

I am your sword, hold me tight

Keep me safe right by your side

(If I'm playing with fire I'm bound to get burned)

But I know there's more than the surface

I can learn to love you, and you'll burn to fuel me

(There's more to the flame than the pain, come and be my blaze)

And we'll keep to the paths you light up

(Like candles to guide me)

So much fighting before us

But the thing with fire

There's a lot it's good for

Destruction and healing

(Or forging a greatsword)

I'm a weapon of passion that's held with intention

And you are the wielder of tempered emotion

You're my moon, loyal light

You orbit 'round and pull my tides

I reach out towards the skies

So I can stay right by your side

I forget my worth sometimes

But I was forged in love as fire

I am your sword, hold me tight

Keep me safe right by your side

There's a fire aflame in my heart that'll never burn away

It's feeling and passion, the ardor of comfort and pain

It would kill if I tried to deny or to live off of the blaze

So I dance in between with the pyre to forge my blade
