Temple

I spat on your face and then you turn the other cheek
I lied to the others and I said it's you that I seek
I slept warm on a bed while you froze your ass on the ground
And it took so long to realize and know what I've found

I've come from the fire, you welcome me with open arms
In the temple

I come on a pilgrimage to worship your name
I've travelled a million miles for my soul to be reclaimed
Do I have to throw a stone, disturb the calm in the pool?
Watch the water ripple, hypnotized, I am the fool.

I gather myself today to celebrate your coming
In the temple

Happy are they who are chosen
Happy are they who have come in your name
Fools, they are too quick to damn
Oh, Lord, I am but one of them

And you, dark candle, lead me through the light
Your lips are my temple for an eternal worship.
Your will is my will, my desire my own
My praises to you in drowning moans.

Will you bow down to me?
Will you raise hell for me?
Will you die now for me?

And you are the one whom I enjoyed to steal from
And loved to deny and mock your kingdom
Fools, they are too quick to damn..
Oh, Lord, I am but one of them

And you, dark candle, lead me through the light
Your lips are my temple for an eternal worship.
And your will is my will, my desire my own
My praises to you in drowning moans

Will you bow down to me?
Will you raise hell for me?
Will you die now for me?

And I slept warm on a bed while you froze your ass on the ground
And it took so long to realize and know what I've found
And now I'm naked as a baby
And yet you keep me warm
in your temple...
