Let me step inside you Block out all memory Seven years in want Watching it all slide You with your slanderous tongues You make such beautiful wounds Always concealing your secret doubts As lovers do From god to crown From king to guardian From master to initiate We'll hand it down From lord to ceasar From soul to mind From master to initiate We'll pay you back in kind So let us be vulgar Let us tear things apart Let us not mind our language Let us ruin yet another start Hope belongs to its thieves And to its thieves alone, mind you This is the longed-for peace Come too late, come too soon Must all determine here? Why still crave Their pardon? Call your colours forth Let us raise this siege I know you wished me bolder Watching the shadows implode A farewell to bitter blood And to the lovers of old From god to crown From king to guardian From master to initiate We'll hand it down From lord to ceasar From soul to mind From master to initiate We'll pay you back in kind
