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
chorus
SOL RE
Pray your gods who ask you for your blood
SOL RE
For they are strong and angry jealous ones
SOL RE LA SOL
Or lay upon my altar now your love
SOL
I fear my time is short
SOL
There are armies moving close
SOL
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
SOL RE
Pray your gods who rule you by your fears
SOL RE
For they are quick and ruthless punishers
SOL RE LA SOL
Or lay upon my altar now your love
SOL
I fear my day is done
SOL
There are armies moving on
SOL
Be quick, my love
