Darling, I loved you. I longed to become you and know what it is that you gave.
We dance the sorrow, forgive me tomorrow I pray,
Night after night, day after day,
Would you watch my body weaken, my mind drift away?

Dear lover, forsaken, our love is taken away.
Well you're my speaker, my innocence keeper, I don't,
Night after night, day after day
Would you watch my body weaken, my mind drift away?

Dear lover forgiven, my love is driven by rage.
Oh I should just leave you instead of deceive you
Night after night, day after day
Would you watch my body grow weaker, my mind drift away?

I count to no one, hold nobody's ear, I showed you my hand once and you hit me in fear.
I don't stand for the devil, I don't whisper in his ear,
I stand on the mountains and call people to hear, hmm-mm

Tis a sudden burst of light, a fate for a toll,
It is knowing, it is knowing

He longs for the answers, as all of us must
He longs for the woman who will conquer his lust.
He screams in the night, I scream in the day,
We weep in the evening and lie naked and pray.

Night after night, day after day
Night after night, day after day
Night after night, day after day
Would you watch my body weaken, my mind drift away?

It's a tempting communion, it's a fate for a toll
It is knowing, it is knowing
What it is that's your toll
