Lyrics:
With benediction in her eyes
Our dearest gods are not surprised
You better hold your lover down
And tie him to the ground

Whisper "I love you"
One thousand times into his ear
Kiss his eyes and don't you cry, girl
He won't disappear
But I know better than to let you go

With benediction in her mind
She'll never you get you back in time
You better hold your lover down
And tie her to the ground

Simple pleasures strike like lightning
Scratches spell her name
Thunder demons swipe her halo
And then they run away
But I know better than to let her go

With benediction in her eyes
Our dearest gods are not surprised
You better hold your lover down
And tie her to the ground

Simple pleasures strike like lightning
Scratches cross her name
Whisper "I love you, my darling"
Life is just a flame
But I know better than to let her go

I know better than to let you go
I know better than to let her go
I know better than to let her go
I know better
I know better
I know better
