Lyrics

The man who lived to live alone
His heart he ruled to know but one
His name was none he took no ground
He came and went without a sound
One day the man did sing a song
Then stood and wait for her to come
For years they sang but he would not know,
From some he took and then let go
One day our lady did divine
To move the air most true and fine
He drew but found his voice had gone
"Dear god" he thought "I've stood too long"
The crimes, the crimes of the fool against the fool
the cries, the cries of the man who lived by The Rule
To die by the rule,
You offered everything to me
I took, you know I took for free
The morning broke and flood in blue,
I knew before the day was through
I'd tear into the heart of you
I tore into the heart of you
A pair, a pair of young lives becomes a love
And there, there they've won
Oh how is it done?
How is it done?
I wait to look into your eyes
I wait for you to look at mine
My love, oh love I long to see
I'll offer all I have to thee
And you'll tear into the heart of me
You'll tear into the heart of me.
