Lyrics for The Leash
Perseus holds the head of Medusa Oh what i would give to be her My hands cannot hold steady When you reach out to me Jaimie boy oh if you could tell Would you ever be taken as i am That i looked to you every night You did not seem to notice God had made your sweetheart wrong Born to suffer, born only to die A dog will rut its way into harm When one lets off the leash To reveal what i once was Just for once, just for once In this she is not unique To have lied to a lover If for want of a pure touch To be common, to be seen as i am Salute your rage, a hammer Beat upon me, crumble me as powder Wipe me off of your uniform It's the same blood that you loved I don't think that you are a fool But you cannot deny me as a woman Oh ensign, i was your woman
