The Ring

With this ring I thee wed

A love so fragile made in bed

They say they can take you

Naive love sold lustful schemes

Torn at heart and shattered dreams

They say they can break you

I'm not looking for absolution

For promises I can't keep

Oh lord do you hear me

This time should I fear thee

My deepest fears are close at hand

On this foreign soil of blood and sand

They say they can stake you

My time has come, death's promise to keep

Close your eyes in eternal sleep

They say they can wake you

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

With this ring I thee wed

With this ring I thee wed

They say

With this ring

With this ring
