Beyond Love

Move away from the window

And into the light

There are some things in this life

That you just can't fight

It's as if the spirits above

Have cast a little spell upon us

It's as if heaven above

Is beckoning us

So let us take off our crosses

And lay them in a tin

And let our weakness become virtue

Instead of sin

Our bodies stand naked

As the day they were born

And tremble like animals

Before a coming storm

Take me beyond love

Up to something above

Upon this bed

Between these sheets

Take me to a happiness

Beyond human reach

The force of life

Is rushing though our veins

In and out like the tide

It comes in waves

The drops of semen

And the clots of blood

Which may, one day

Become like us

With outstretched hands

Reaching beyond love

And up to something above

Before our juices run cold

And our flesh grows old

Let me feed upon your breast

And draw closer to your soul

Let me stay with you tonight

And I'll offer you my world

I'll take you to the angels

If you'll take me to myself

Take me beyond love

Up to something above

Upon this bed

Between these sheets

Take me to a happiness

Beyond human reach

Beyond the grasp of lust

Beyond the need for trust

Beyond the gaze of the sick and the lame

Beyond the stench of human pain
