In a battle, you only brought your shield I picked the nearest blade I found To meet you in the field I'm sure that I told my fair share of lies If not, I bent the truth But good fortune never was shining on me The way it shone on you Shock me, I needed a surprise Shock me, I needed a surprise In a dream, a great calamity To stone my heart and firm resolve And render nerves to steel The polestar wheeled about my head Until such time it grew A deep well of despair I found The day my dreams came true Shock me, I needed a surprise Shock me, I needed a surprise Shock me Shock me, I needed a surprise Shock me, I needed a surprise Shock me
