(written for a friend)
I'm bound to be free,
I'm strapped to your wheel,
Surrender engenders the freedom and joy,
I'm bound and determined to feel.
You ride the horse of Apocalypse
Unbridled by destiny
Across the fields of my discontent
To bring me to my knees.
You show me places and tell me things
That scare me half to death.
Then brings me flashes of ecstasy
That simply steal my breath.
You're an angel in leather, a devil in lace
A fire in your breast and a smile on your face.
You're thunder and lightning; you're snowflakes and rain;
Magic and wonder, and pleasure and pain.
You're deep in the ice,
You're free as the fire.
Keep all your secrets, I don't want to know,
Just tell me what you require.
The candle that burns in your bedroom,
No more than a crack of light
That dances with the thunder
That teaches wrong from right.
Sparks they dance on my eyelids,
Thunder rolls in my brain,
But the thoughts are slow in coming
So I'm bound to try again.
I'm bound to be free,
I'm strapped to your wheel,
Surrender engenders the freedom and joy,
I'm bound and determined to feel.
There's a whole wide world out there you say,
Just waiting for me to see,
A deep, dark, buried treasure,
That waits for you and me.
You show me places and tell me things
That scare me half to death.
Then brings me flashes of ecstasy
That simply steal my breath.
You're an angel in leather, a devil in lace
A fire in your breast and a smile on your face.
You're thunder and lightning; you're snowflakes and rain;
Magic and wonder, and pleasure and pain.
You're deep in the ice,
You're free as the fire.
Keep all your secrets, I don't want to know,
Just tell me what you require.
I'm bound to be free,
I'm strapped to your wheel,
Surrender engenders the freedom and joy,
I'm bound and determined to feel.
You're deep in the ice,
You're free as the fire.
Keep all your secrets, I don't want to know,
Just tell me what you require.
