Of warmth and flesh, I crawl 

I fight and I scream 

While the far away stars gleam 

Just take me home he pleads 

But we both have to pay for our deeds 


We know the price of our love is blood 

Now its nothing more than a crimson flood 

Our bodies on the frozen church floor 

We were so careful to keep it behind a closed door 


Just one small slip 

Now we’ve lost our grip 

How could I be so careless? 

Now the masses want their justice 


Just one small kiss it's harmless 

How could you be so heartless? 

What if it was your child up here? 

Would you still scream and sneer? 


Betray your own child for a broken religion 

You know that's what causes our division

Until you leave those passages behind 

And learn to love all of humankind 


Until you stop preaching the next great flood

My love will be nothing but a call for blood.
