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
