Click -- it's a gentle sound
Baptized in fire and blood
the chain is placed around a neck

Click -- it's a quiet sound
A metal bar placed through the ends of the chain
locks itself in place inside a metal box

Click -- it's an anxious sound
Heard only by two, one standing, one kneeling
their worlds will be forever changed

Click -- it's a calming sound
Two souls come together, binding completely, becoming one
united by a total and unrelenting trust

Click -- one becomes owner, one becomes owned
One accepts the ultimate in responsibility
taking total control of another's body and soul

Click -- one becomes keeper, one gives away all
One freely and willingly without any question
gives every fiber of his being in submission to the other

Click -- two come together, two become one
Melting together in a love so complete
it's impossible to tell what part came from which

Click -- two lives join, intertwined as one
As one becomes Master
and one becomes slave.
