We all love this madness
Do we ever see the face?
We all love this madness
Do we ever see the face?
I’m pure I swear that I’m pure
But my heart is tattered
So tattered
So tattered
Never see the face again
Don’t you pray for me
Don’t you pray
Oh, it’s a shame
The stars are unhappy
It’s the birth of man
To reap what I’ve done here
I’ve been cursed my dear
Fore I have slain the beast
And the gods they weep
Oh, I’ve got to be the one
To make this right, Oh
See, they gave me you
Oh, they gave me you
And they gave me you
Oh, they gave me you
Oh, can’t you see how I love your gift to me?
How she sleeps, how she creeps, around my bedposts
Don’t believe all the things that they’ll say about me
Every time you saw the wind blow me away
You came running after me to make sure I was okay
The harvest is coming soon, be patient
One by one, they rise from the ground
And you throw them a stone
Watch them all fall down
I give your bones to the ground so we can sleep
See, you are the loneliest of the lonely
Holiest of the holy
See, they gave me you
Oh, they gave me you
And they gave me you
Oh, they gave me you
Oh, can’t you see how I love your gift to me?
How she sleeps, how she creeps, around my bedposts
Don’t believe all the things that they’ll say about me
Every time you saw the wind blow me away
You came running after me to make sure I was okay
The harvest is coming soon, be patient
