Altar Of Youth

Believe me I don’t lie
In my love I’m vulnerable
Open for you to kill and revive

In my love I’m all bare before you
Open for you to caress every nerve
All tenderly crucified upon altar of youth
For all my sins this I deserve

Believe I don’t lie
In my love to you I’m sincere
Believe the soul that still can cry

In my love I’m bare before you in all this bloodred grace
Upon an altar of all lost loves I’ve had
Torn up open I look at you begging for mercy just once
But for a loving soul that longs for you till the end

Show me your face
Look me in the eyes
And say it all again
Blame me in deceitful love
And black heart
Say it all again and have me all
Split open before you upon altar of youth
