Candlelit Battleground

Was there a purpose behind the way she moved?
Timid and curious one foot after the other
She reached out for your hand but barely touched it with her fingers
Before you grabbed her neck and threw her across the room

Her blood was intact in her veins
But that night something else was released
A monster that once was caged
Behind fishnet stockings and satin drapes
She roared as she tore the sacred chains
And then she raised her neck and smelt the room
Her mouth slightly open tasting the air

You took over her senses
She took over your body

It was a war between mind and matter
Between my animal instincts and my humanity
Between your cold heart and your warm flesh

Tonight it's war between you and me
And we won't stop till we paint the ground red.
