Warmth like steel and I burn in the furnace that it came from
You are strong like the hands upon the tools
Yet as hard as the weapon in the end
I still feel your warmth like steel
Like a knife, like a sword, like a spear, like cupid’s arrow
You went away, you stabbed my heart,you stabbed my heart
Like cupid’s arrow, like cupid’s arrow
When I awoke my chest was red and wet
So I slept for a long long, oh long long, oh long long time
Oh the sleep made the pain seem easier well some consolation
The sand it felt smooth in my eyes in my eyes
Like a knife, like a sword, like a spear, like cupid’s arrow
Like a knife, like a sword, like a spear, like cupid’s arrow
I still feel your warmth like steel
Your eyes like steel ( I can not tell, It’s just imaginary) X 3
You survive like steel
You laugh like steel, You laugh like steel, You laugh like steel
I still feel your warmth like steel, warmth like steel
So now you sit and talk to me
Yeah but your eyes they burn straight through my head
Your tongue, it cuts with no memory and no recollection
I search but all I see, all I see is steel
I still feel your warmth like steel (I can not tell my love that it’s just imaginary) X4
your warmth like steel X4
