She stands before you naked

You can see it you can taste

And she comes to you light as the breeze

Now you can drink it or you can nurse it

It don't matter how you worship

O baby I waited

So long for your kiss

For something to happen

Oh something like this

Something like this

There's blood on every bracelet

You can see it you can taste it

And it's Please baby

Please baby please

And she says Drink deeply pilgrim

But don't forget there's still a woman

Beneath this

Resplendent chemise

So I knelt there at the delta

At the alpha and the omega

I knelt there like one who believes

And the blessings come from heaven

And for something like a second

I'm cured and my heart
