Shadows dance around my feet
But I am not your enemy tonight
Quietly the city dreams
But I am not your enemy tonight
I stole the air you cannot breathe
I can be your enemy tonight
I pull the rug from under your feet
I can be your enemy tonight
What is worse?
You laughed when it hurt
You knew that I'd turned
You smiled when it burned
What is worse, the pain or the flames?
I heard your stories, but I lived them all before
I was always silver, but it was gold that I strove for
I used to hate it, but I can't take it anymore
I put down my shield, and instead I hold my sword
I hold my sword
I try to block these memories
But I am not your nemesis tonight
These images are taunting me
But I am not your nemesis tonight
I'll lock you out and hide the key
I can be your nemesis tonight
I'll make it dark so you can't see
I can be your nemesis tonight
What is worse?
You laughed when it hurt
You knew that I'd turned
You smiled when it burned
What is worse, the pain or the flames?
I heard your stories, but I lived them all before
I was always silver, but it was gold that I strove for
I used to hate it, but I can't take it anymore
I put down my shield, and instead I hold my sword
I hold my sword
Calm before, before the storm tonight
You hope, you hope, you hope that we will fight
Calm before, before the storm tonight
I'll come, I'll come, I'll come for you tonight
I heard your stories, but I lived them all before
I was always silver, but it was gold that I strove for
I used to hate it, but I can't take it anymore
I put down my shield, and instead I hold my sword
I hold my sword
Calm before, before the storm tonight
You hope, you hope, you hope that we will fight
Calm before, before the storm tonight
I'll come, I'll come, I'll come for you tonight
I'll hold my sword
