The Ring
[Verse 1]
With this ring I thee wed
A love so fragile made in bed
They say they can take you
[Verse 2]
Naive love sold lustful schemes
Torn at heart and shattered dreams
They say they can break you
[Chorus 1]
I'm not looking for absolution
For promises I can't keep
Oh lord do you hear me
This time should I fear thee
[Verse 3]
My deepest fears are close at hand
On this foreign soil of blood and sand
They say they can stake you
[Verse 4]
My time has come, death's promise to keep
Close your eyes in eternal sleep
They say they can wake you
[Chorus 2]
I won't fight for the father-land
Mother Earth at my feet
Oh lord can you hear me
I need somebody to steer me
[Outro]
With this ring I thee wed
With this ring I thee wed
(They say)
With this ring
With this ring
