In the chill of grey, in the shades of dark,
In the corners of unconscious,
Stirs the soul of hidden heart.
Through the truth of dreamscape
And disillusionment's sad wake,
Over seas and mountains wicked ways,
Comes to bare that which won't yield to change.
Down the wire of silver thread,
And the iron denial in sweet head,
And the resurrection of love's lament,
Self control can't stand a chance

Against the salt in the wound
The depth of the pain,
The bain of the pleasure,
The tears in the rain,
The cross that is born,
The scar that won't fade,
The eye in the storm,
The rose n thorn.

When soft rain trails down you neck,
And the sun beats on your naked chest,
They are tortured touches of regret
For ev'ry time you've turned away.
Then the seals you forged on never's grave
wax and wain with every break
To have and hold and feel your way
To where you know you oughta be,

How many buttons must you bring undone?
How many mouths must tempt to prove your vacant heart?
How many feminine wiles close your eyes
Coz your kiss don't belong there?

Coz I'm the salt in your wound,
The depth of your pain,
The bain of your pleasure,
your tears in the rain,
The cross that you bear,
The scars that won't fade,
The eyes in your storm.
You're the salt in my wound,
The depth of my pain,
The bain of my pleasure,
My tears in the rain,
The cross that I bare,
The scars that won't fade,
The only eyes in my storm,
You're my rose n thorn.

We're the nights we can't take,
The famine of give,
A serial death,
The reason we live,
The heroes of romance dive from the cliff,
We're the silence of passion at dawn.

You're all I can take
I'm the gift you won't give,
I'm over your shoulder,
You're wound in my head,
Your the secret I keep,
I'm the name you can't speak.

You are the salt in my wound.
I am the depth of your pain.
You are the bain of my pleasure.
I am the scar that won't fade.
You are the cross I bear.
I am your tears in the rain.
We are the eyes in the storm.
Baby you I are rose n thorn.
We are, we are bound and torn
By love's rose and thorn.
Baby you I are are rose and thorn
