Lyrics The Mission

The Mission

Love Me to Death

Let me come inside your ivory tower

Let me come inside your hallowed walls

God, it's heaven in here

Fix me with your hand of praise

Fix me with your touch of precious thrills

Your fingers dance across my skin

Reaching out for the pride of man

Hand in hand, flesh in flesh

We're walking through the fire of love

Breath by breath and flame by flame

We burn 'til the sun rises and shines hot

Love comes gushing, love runs free

My love comes all over you

My love comes for you

Love me to death, my flower

Run bare fur through my hair

Naked on my lips

Love me to death, my precious

Smother me with kisses

Drown me in your waves of falling sweetness

Hold me dear, bury me deep

Bless me with your word of savage honor

We love more by fate than design

So give me your hands

And I'll gladly give you my life

A flower that sways in the breeze

You must be stronger

Than the winds that blow you away

Blow you away

Love me to death, my precious

Run bare fur through my hair

Dance wild on my lips

Love me to death, my flower

Lay me down on your bed of petals

Cover me with your honey, my blossom

(Love me to death, love me to death)

Love me to death, my flower

(Love me to death)

Love me to death, my treasure

Run bare fur through my hair

(Love me to death)

Dance wild on my heart

Love me to death, my precious

(Love me to death)

Love me to death, my love

Tarnish, taint and punish me softly

(Love me to death)

Softly love me to death, love me to death
