Horslips

Horslips are an Irish celtic rock band that compose, arrange and perform songs based on traditional Irish jigs and reels. The group are regarded as 'founding fathers of celtic rock' for their fusion of traditional Irish music with rock music and went on to inspire many local and international acts. They formed in 1970 and 'retired' in 1980 for an extended period. The name originated from a spoonerism on The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse which became "The Four Poxmen of The Horslypse". more »

Use both your hands to hold me. 
Tight! Tighter than you should. 
My heart is cold as steel 
But my body's flesh and blood. 
Walking hand in hand with silver, 
Close as gold to kiss, 
Only lovers left alive 
And they're swallowed in the mist.

I'm your Sword of Light. 
Won't you be mine tonight. 
I'm your Sword of Light tonight, 
Going to scorch you deep inside, 
Make you glad to be alive 
Because I'm your Sword of Light.

Wrap tight your cloak around me 
And I'll whisper close my dreams. 
My home is such a long way 
And I'm older than I seem. 
I've come a long way with the good news; 
I know you need my help. 
But don't ask me to be your guide 
I'm a stranger here myself. 

I'm your Sword of Light. 
Won't you be mine tonight. 
I'm your Sword of Light tonight, 
Going to scorch you deep inside, 
Make you glad to be alive 
Because I'm your Sword of Light.

Use both your hands to hold me. 
Tight! and tighter should. 
My heart is cold as steel 
But my body's flesh and blood. 
Walking hand in hand with silver, 
Close as gold to kiss, 
Only lovers left alive 
And they're swallowed in the mist.

I'm your Sword of Light. 
Won't you be mine tonight. 
I'm your Sword of Light tonight, 
Going to scorch you deep inside, 
Make you glad to be alive 
Because I'm your Sword of Light.
