I said father change my name
The one I'm using now is covered up with fear and filth
And cowardice and shame.

Come back to me.
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

Then let me start again I cried

I want a face that's fair this time
I want a spirit that is calm.

I never turned aside he said and never walked away
It was you who built the temple
it was you who covered up my face
Yes and

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
Loverloverloverloverloverloverlover
