Lyrics
Use both your hands to hold me.
Expressing a desire for a strong and committed connection.
Tight! Tighter than you should.
Emphasizing the intensity of the connection, possibly bordering on possessiveness.
My heart is cold as steel
Describing emotional detachment or a lack of warmth.
But my body's flesh and blood.
Highlighting the contrast between emotional coldness and physical vitality.
Walking hand in hand with silver,
Symbolic imagery of a precious metal, suggesting a valuable and close relationship.
Close as gold to kiss,
Comparing the closeness to gold, a precious metal often associated with love and affection.
Only lovers left alive
Reference to lovers who have endured and survived, though shrouded in mystery.
And they're swallowed in the mist.
Implies a sense of obscurity or uncertainty surrounding the lovers.
I'm your Sword of Light.
Declaring oneself as a source of guidance and protection.
Won't you be mine tonight.
Expressing a desire for mutual commitment and connection.
I'm your Sword of Light tonight,
Reiteration of being a guiding force with the potential to bring inner warmth.
Going to scorch you deep inside,
Describing an intense impact that penetrates deeply.
Make you glad to be alive
Promising to bring joy and vitality to life.
Because I'm your Sword of Light.
Reaffirmation of being a guiding light that brings positivity.
Wrap tight your cloak around me
Symbolic action of protection and intimacy through wrapping a cloak.
And I'll whisper close my dreams.
Sharing personal dreams in a close and intimate manner.
My home is such a long way
Expressing a sense of distance or isolation from home.
And I'm older than I seem.
Hinting at a discrepancy between appearance and actual age.
I've come a long way with the good news;
Bringing positive news but acknowledging the need for assistance.
I know you need my help.
Awareness of the partner's need for help without committing to guide.
But don't ask me to be your guide
Declining the role of a guide due to being unfamiliar with the environment.
I'm a stranger here myself.
Emphasizing a sense of being a stranger in the current situation.
I'm your Sword of Light.
Reiteration of being a guiding force and source of light.
Won't you be mine tonight.
Renewed request for mutual commitment and connection.
I'm your Sword of Light tonight,
Restating the role of being a guiding force with transformative impact.
Going to scorch you deep inside,
Describing the profound impact that reaches deep within.
Make you glad to be alive
Promising to bring joy and vitality to life once again.
Because I'm your Sword of Light.
Reaffirmation of being a guiding light that brings positivity.
Use both your hands to hold me.
Repeating the desire for a strong and committed connection.
Tight! and tighter should.
Reemphasizing the intensity of the connection, possibly bordering on possessiveness.
My heart is cold as steel
Reiteration of emotional detachment or a lack of warmth.
But my body's flesh and blood.
Restating the contrast between emotional coldness and physical vitality.
Walking hand in hand with silver,
Symbolic imagery of a precious metal, reinforcing the idea of a valuable and close relationship.
Close as gold to kiss,
Reiterating the closeness to gold, symbolizing love and affection.

Recall of lovers who have endured and survived, though shrouded in mystery.

Reemphasizes a sense of obscurity or uncertainty surrounding the lovers.
