For Your Pleasure

Dame d'escrime · 07-12-2001 12:57 PM

My adrenaline is rising
As I step upon the piste,
A long cold foil
Clenched in my fist.

Cooly I acknowlegde my opponent.
En gared,allez,avance,attaque,parry and riposte.
The game's begun,
I feel the thrill of battles lost and won.

Our hearts are all on fire.
Our breathing comes on fast.
The sweat is pouring down
inside silent wire masks.

My body's getting tired.
My legs are getting weak.
My heart is pounding wildly.
There is lead inside my feet.

That kid is younger, faster.
Will she be the end of me?
Think faster, Fight smarter.
Take her to her knees.

Avance, attaque, parry and riposte.
There is no retreat.
En quartata, pasata sotto.
Take her down, take her low.

Une,deux, trois, quatre, cinq.
Your mine! HA!

Affectionately yours,
The Dame
