Bitter Love - The Murder of My Sweet

«God fears evil has returned to earth

As a guardian of light I’m sent to intervene

For the balance must not be disturbed

Protecting petty people who don’t believe

Who don’t know how to love…

Takes its toll.»

I was a preacher

Traveled coast to coast with God’s embrace

Cared for the weaker

Shedding light and love in evil ways

But there’s just something about her darkness

I’m such a sinner

I was born through fire

Drinking flames

I can’t remember ever looking for another way

But there’s just something about his glory

I fear my heart has gone to war

A pilgrim searching for a distant shore

Don’t want to fight

Don’t want to fall

No way to stop

Nowhere to go

Bitter love, bitter love

Spider bite, the venom makes us stronger

Bitter love, bitter love

Kingdom come with twenty lashes for us

Such is our love

My heart is burning

Can I save her from the dark embrace?

Blizzards and yearning

Can I make him turn from Heaven’s grace?

How far is far enough for treason?

I fear my heart has gone to war

A pilgrim searching for a distant shore

Don’t want to fight

Don’t want to fall

No way to stop

Nowhere to go

Bitter love, bitter love

Spider bite, the venom makes us stronger

Bitter love, bitter love

Kingdom come with twenty lashes for us

Such is our love

Such tangled web you weave

How wicked it must seem

Hide by the curtains

A window to the ghost of you

My heart is burning

My heart is burning

With the wrath of God

I’ll strike you down, you dragon’s crowned

I’ll make you pay the price for what you’ve done

Go back where you belong

You’ll strike me down

Done for you

I don’t want to fight

«But this task is not in vain

As down on earth there is a familiar rein

Friend or foe?

Who knows?

I vaguely remember that black September.»
