The one I'm [Am]using now it's covered up
with fear and filth and cowardice and s[Em]hame.
Yes and l[C]over, lover, lover, lover, lover,

He said, "I locked you in this body,
I meant it as a kind of trial.
You can use it for a weapon,
or to make some woman smile."
yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover,
lover, lover come back to me.
"Then let me start again," I cried,
"please let me start again,
I want a face that's fair this time,
I want a spirit that is calm."
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover,
lover, lover come back to me
yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover,
lover, lover come back to me.
"I never never turned aside," he said,
"I never walked away.
It was you who built the temple,
it was you who covered up my face."
yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover,
lover, lover come back to me.
And may the spirit of this song,
may it rise up pure and free.
May it be a shield for you,
a shield against the enemy.
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover,
lover, lover come back to me
yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover,
lover, lover come back to me.
