A phantom light in the deepest night, A steady hand when the dark takes flight. I walk the line where the shadows bend, A guardian heart, a faithful friend. If you are lost, I will light the way, I’ll hold the storm so you don't decay. To those who know me, I’m a warm embrace, A gentle soul in a cold, hard place. But dare to cross the ones I hold dear, And all you will know is a sudden fear. I do not break, I do not bow. I am made of velvet, but forged in steel, A tender heart with a strength that's real! The foolish tremble, the wicked flee, No one plays games with the soul in me. Yet in the silence of the falling rain, I long for a love that can ease the pain— A true equal match, strong and kind, To hold the queen that they fear to find. A gentle voice with an iron will, I stand my ground when the world stands still. They call me dangerous, they call me cold, Because I won't fit in the mold they sold. They only see the fire in my eyes, And miss the soft heart beneath the skies. I am made of velvet, but forged in steel, A tender heart with a strength that's real! The foolish tremble, the wicked flee, No one plays games with the soul in me. Yet in the silence of the falling rain, I long for a love that can ease the pain— A true equal match, strong and kind, To hold the queen that they fear to find. I don't need a savior to fight my war, I’ve fought the monsters at every door. I need a partner who sees the grace, Behind the armor, behind the face. To walk beside me, unfearful, true... Is there a heart brave enough for two? Brave enough... To stand beside the flame! I am made of velvet, but forged in steel, A tender heart with a strength that's real! The foolish tremble, the wicked flee, No one plays games with the soul in me. Yet in the silence of the falling rain, I long for a love that can ease the pain— A true equal match, strong and kind, To hold the queen that they fear to find. Fearing the shadow... Loving the light... Hold me through the darkest night.
