A Hundred Nights

"I was a swordsman. I was heartless" -- Slayers inspired.

A Hundred Nights
By Sapphirefly

I was in for an adventure
Your eyes said so
Your mouth . . .
Didn't say adventure
But it was clear it was going to be
When you weren't afraid of me

In my castle, I had you captured
The best excuse
I was a swordsman
I was heartless
I had to keep my motives from sight
You woke me every one of a hundred nights

And I woke up with you on my mind
Everything I feared to find
I might save you from a hundred plights
And you'd wake me every one of a hundred nights

You said you followed him for his sword
You wanted it
Not the man
Not the man
If it's just for the astral attack
I have a sword just like that

I could never think of reasons to stay
For adventure?
My revenge?
My cure?
All nothing to the passion I feign to fight
You woke me every one of a hundred nights

And I woke up with you on my mind
Everything I feared to find
I might save you from a hundred plights
And you'd wake me every one of a hundred nights
