Gem Hearts
Steven:
Can you hear me over the ring of steel?
How can you use your sword to tell me how you feel?
A dangerous dance that is unlike any known
One that's danced by few but which is never danced alone!
I'd say your blood is pumping,
But we know that's not true.
I'd say your heart is thumping,
But let's ignore that too.
You've bodies hard as rock and you've gem hearts that will not yield,
Some prefer their freedom, some prefer the battlefield!
Pearl:
Remember when advancing
To keep your stance aggressive,
just one step, thrust, and parry;
Don't make your moves excessive
Ten:
All your poise and grace and balance cannot trump experience
I'll take some time to tell you later once I've broken your defense!
Steven:
I'd say your blood is pumping,
But we know that's not true.
I'd say your heart is thumping,
But let's ignore that too.
You've passion and impatience drawing forth impressive skill
Some know only panic, some indomitable will!
(Musical Interlude)
Steven:
Women with bodies made of rock and salt
They long to fight though I know that is not their fault
I blame them no more than I'd try to blame their blade,
They only wish to fight 'cause deep down that is how they're made!
All:
We'd say our blood is pumping,
But we know that's not true.
We'd say our hearts are thumping,
But let's ignore that too.
Ten:
Let's hurry up and end this because I am growing bored,
Pearl:
Some only face safety, some will have to face—
Pearl (Off-beat):
My sword!
