The Messenger

Got a letter from a messenger
 I read it when it came
 It said that you were wounded,
 you were bound and chained
 You had loved and you were handled
 You were poisoned, you were pained
 oh no, oh no -
 you were naked, you were shamed
 You could almost touch heaven
 right there in front of you
 liberty just slipped away on us
 now there's so much work to do
 Oh the door that closes tightly
 is the door that can swing wide
 oh no, oh no -
 Not expecting to collide
 For a minute I let my guard down
 not afraid to be found out
 Completely forgotten
 what our fears were all about
 oh no, oh no -
 There's no need to be without
 There's a chance and I will take it
 this desire I can't kill
 Take my heart, please don't break it
 I will crawl to your foothill
 I'm frightened but I'm coming,
 please baby, please lay still
 oh no, oh no -
 Not coming for the kill
 oh no, oh no -
 Not coming for the kill
 oh no, oh no -
 Not coming for the kill
