Jens Bogren - Syphilis lyrics

“My beloved king I compose this letter to you In the sleepless nightmare hours of the night Wandering through cold empty corridors I can hear these walls Screaming your magnificent name and I can find no peace” I have to protect my breed No matter who I love, no matter how I feel It's in my pure drops, it's in my royal seed My great love don't let me fall apart Desire is k**ing me Don't you let me drown in tears Don't cry You know it's a hopeless wish No future for us, but only bitter tears Preserve your frail heart From an unending bleed “Oh lord How long shall I bear the burden Of my tormenting silence And live my life in the shadows This is a frightful conflict, this is not life Please, come and take me Please, my love, please” I will never come again I forbid this love forever As time has come to forget And leave it to the past So make the right choice to save us Before it's too late Can't soil my blood for nothing And waste my heritage Can't blacken my name And lose my purity
