Intro: |
I asked my father |
I said, "father change my name." |
The one I'm using now |
It's covered up |
With fear and filth |
And cowardice and shame |
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover |
Lover, lover, lover come back to me |
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover |
Lover, lover, lover come back to me |
He said, "I locked you in this body |
I meant it as a kind of trial |
You can use it for a weapon |
Or to make some woman smileeeee." |
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover |
Lover, lover, lover come back to me |
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover |
Lover, lover, lover come back to me |
"then let me start again," I cried |
"please let me start again |
I want a face that's fair this time |
I want a spirit that is calm." |
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover |
Lover, lover, lover come back to me |
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover |
Lover, lover, lover come back to me |
"I never turned aside," he said |
"I never walked away |
It was you who built the temple |
It was you who covered up my face." |
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover |
Lover, lover, lover come back to me |
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover |
Lover, lover, lover come back to me |
And may the spirit of this song |
May it rise up pure and free |
May it be a shield for you |
A shield against the enemyyyyy |
