behind closed doors of ornately gilded walls

hushed whispers, wandr'ing hands, a stolen kiss

sins of the father reflect on us all

no guard nor priest knows something is amiss

I told you my sins, you sharpened your knife

my beating heart, a sacrifice so fine

damn all those who would dare to call you wife

you'll be bloodless, clean, and naked, and mine.

odi - "I hate the way he makes me feel";
amo - "by God above, our love is real".

pray for me, I forsake his name for yours.

our romance, an obsession gone off track

for your honor, I have fought many wars:

one touch of your hand and God rushes back.
