I see you ride up on your great white horse
And you call up to me and say it's time to come down
And I look at you with my evil eye
And I say go away and I make you weep
And I throw stones with my words that I know kill you
inside
But you still stand there...why?
And you smile at me and you say it doesn't matter
You know you love me anyway
No matter whom I've raped and plundered
Those whom I've killed and simply thrown away
You don't care you don't judge
You accept me for the miserable fool that I am
Who is this man
who knocks on my castle walls?
Who rattles my armor?
Who lights a warm candle
Under the ice that serves as my heart
Who are you, old man on your noble steed?
And don't you know who I am?
Don't you know what I've done?
Why do you stand there when you know I can crush you
In less than a blink
What do you see that the others don't see
As you gaze upon the ogre
Way up in the clouds
Who tells you to go away?
And how do you know I'm lying when I say
I don't want you there
Because you know
Everything in my heart
Without me saying a word
You scare me
Because I love you
But I can't tell you that
Because the tower would fall
And then I'd stand before you
Naked
With my emotions bleeding all over the ground.
And you would see that what you feel
And what you know in your gentleman heart to be true
Is real
Your battle will be won
And I am the spoils of war.
And you shall have me
And I will be a better man
Living my life in the sun
Yes I look down upon you now
With blood from my stones dripping from your head
And I want to come down and comfort you and hold you and
apologize to you for the wretch I have been
But I look upon the crashing waves
and all I see is fear
And I don't know what to say
