I will give the secrets you request
and you will be the one to sacrifice
so lay your olive arms across my breast
and sing the poems, free the butterflies
chorusG D
Pray your gods who ask you for your blood
G DFor they are strong and angry jealous ones
Or lay upon my altar now your love
GI fear my time is short
GThere are armies moving close
Be quick, my love
[verse -- same riff]
I feel my body weakened by the years
As people turn to gods of cruel design
Is it that they fear the pain of death
Or could it be they fear the joy of life?
chorus
G D
Pray your gods who rule you by your fears
For they are quick and ruthless punishers
G D A GOr lay upon my altar now your love
GI fear my day is done
There are armies moving on
GBe quick, my love
