Knife and Spear Video (MV)

Her name was Akira, and she was the best
At sticking pins and needles and bleeding out the flesh
Of people, that, annoyed her the most
In the shadow of the mountain, she was but a ghost

She haunted all the village folk, they stayed in the light
Shielding themselves in their cabins at night
Their doors barricaded, windows shaded, ever doomed
Cattle for the slaughter, waiting in their rooms

She broke in a cellar, and drank all the wine
And awoke to find she hadn't been alone that night
Embarrassed, Her money and blade were gone
Pissed off and angry, she knew who'd done her wrong

Hold me near
All I wanted was your love my dear
I would call for you, but you weren't there
Now I hunt you with my knife and spear

He sits in the darkness, robe across his chest
A smile laced with arrogance, chain on his breast
It glimmers in the moonlight, disappeared when silence broke
Barely seeing through the haze of cigarette smoke

Ice in his tumbler, swirling in his hand
Shifts in his position and turns to face the man
Who caught his attention when he felt his presence
A scent so familiar, a sweet vanilla essence

When the man spoke, he had a beautiful tone
Softly on the consonants and rounded on the o's
The figure, moved, under the light
Then did he see it was Akira that night
And she sliced him to pieces with a knife

Hold me near
All I wanted was your love my dear
I would call for you, but you weren't there
Now I hunt you with my knife and spear
