Hold me
Love me
make the pain go away
Love me
Cry for me
These words I'll never say.
Each strike of hammer
each blow of stone
each fly that won't leave my blood alone!
but hold me
Love me
this I cannot speak
Ah just to feel my mothers hand cool my fevered cheek.
God my father,
Forgive them all
the words I allow me
Hush
and enthrall
but hold me
love me
this I will not say
come to me
stand by me
bow your heads and pray
I must die this cruel death
give myself
my very last breathe
strange to die
to live again
this I do
to save
all men.
