The Ring

Lyrics

[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
