And my love, my love
Had to die on a broken cross
Thank God that it is that simple
I'd be scared if it was not
And the songs that we sung
In the prayers that we wept
Through the lonely night
Would be but an epilogue
For our wounded pride
I was bound in gauze
My face was perfected
I was sold in a buyers market
I think that the price was fair
I was set loose on the pilgrims
I tore them with my teeth
I was made an angel of compassion
As I had my side pierced
And the horses that have bolted
They long to be free
And the moon in the river
Swims naked with me
And the shame that we felt
Through the burning night
Will be ignited by our tears
Every other night
And this memory will fade
In the dawn light
Oh my love, my love
Why did you lay at his side?
And kiss his broken lips
Like they were my cross
For I am no longer
That boy you worshipped from your knees
That boy is dead
And I am his killer
His blood in my veins stains my hands
And I come before not to beg but return
The night that you stole
When I stole your kiss
And for just one sweet moment
I loved you naked and free
So if you can hear me
Crying out for you
Cross over the river
Death will part it in two
For I am reborn with no soul as my own
And I have scorched the skies
And become the sun
And the nuclear rain
Will fall and wash away my skin
My eyes will burn
With your suffering
But to you I will crawl
Disfigured, defeated and humbled
And to you I will present
This mouldy piece of paper
Had to die on a broken cross
Thank God that it is that simple
I'd be scared if it was not
And the songs that we sung
In the prayers that we wept
Through the lonely night
Would be but an epilogue
For our wounded pride
I was bound in gauze
My face was perfected
I was sold in a buyers market
I think that the price was fair
I was set loose on the pilgrims
I tore them with my teeth
I was made an angel of compassion
As I had my side pierced
And the horses that have bolted
They long to be free
And the moon in the river
Swims naked with me
And the shame that we felt
Through the burning night
Will be ignited by our tears
Every other night
And this memory will fade
In the dawn light
Oh my love, my love
Why did you lay at his side?
And kiss his broken lips
Like they were my cross
For I am no longer
That boy you worshipped from your knees
That boy is dead
And I am his killer
His blood in my veins stains my hands
And I come before not to beg but return
