Then spoke the King
"Any earthly thing
To see you dancing"
How could I stop
Those words from rising
Like flames on my tongue
(Though not holy ones)
If God himself could not?
There's a man
There's a man
And he will not love me
Like all the others long to
So bring me his head
Upon a silver platter
And with his eyes
Still wide
He'll watch me dancing
And I'll be dancing for him
At night I dream
He pours cool water
Into my mouth
The veils turn water
Then he'll rise golden...
There's a man
There's a man
He was the only one I ever wanted
So bring me to bed
And they'll applaud my d**h
For who will pray
For my soul now to rise?
