Confess My Love

Heavy is the metal, heavy is the leather
Ready in this armor, constricting my heart
Helmet in my hand, greaves around my thighs
Rumors of destruction, here to say goodbye.

Dreams of glory fading, Dreams of love thrown down
This is the spear you throw into me, I fall to my knees
This is the arrow you drove into me, as I confessed my love.

Steel plates upon my chest can't stop the bleeding
Despite all the training for this moment in time
Night is come, a moonlit knife embraces my side
Vision dim, closing in, I see through glazing eyes
Dreams of glory fading, Dreams of love thrown down.

This is the spear you throw into me, I fall to my knees
This is the arrow you drove into me, as I confessed my love.

This is the conquest, a bloodless heart still beating
This is the triumph, strangled lungs still breathing
This is the victory, the silent voice still screaming
This is reality, blackened wounds still healing.

As I confess my love.
