[Part I]

[Verse 1: Rosa]

It promised me a good life if I followed all its wishes

I never missed a prayer and I always did the dishes

What's beautiful is good, but what’s that blood along the ridges? What is that for?

[Refrain: Behemoth's Voice]

Tabernacle (Eternal bachelor)

[Verse 2: Behemoth's Voice]

Stones of white preserve the words unspeakable for ages

It's not a place of honor or esteemed deed commemorated

What's left inside is what’s evolved from what we have forsaken, check the black box

[Refrain: Behemoth's Voice]

[Verse 3: Behemoth's Voice]

You puke and spit and beat your fists against it, but it's unshaken (Atargatis)

There's nothing left to offer to restore what has been taken

Your body is a temple, but your holy wounds are aching, leave the fat off

[Refrain: Behemoth's Voice]

[Part II]

[Verse 4: Rosa]

I can do whatever the fuck I want when I want to

You're only wearing my skin

I can do whatever the fuck I want when I want to

You're only wearing my skin

It's just a night in your life

(You're only wearing my skin)

Maybe there's something to take the edge off

It’s just the sound of your electric heart

(You’re only wearing my skin)

Cracklelacklelai, and you will be calm

[Verse 5: Rosa]

You can dial 9-1-1 if you need to

I can't put out every fire

You can call the whole damn squad if you want to

I can’t put out every fire

You're just a lie in my heart

(You're only wearing my skin)

Everybody starts out curious

Is there no king behind these walls?

(You're only wearing my skin)

Cracklelacklelai, and I will not fall

[Bridge]

I can’t put out every fire

I can't put out every fire

I can't put out every fire

I can't put out every fire

[Part III]

[Verse 6: Rosa]

Radio tower neck speaks with the accent of my stomach

Early morning birds call with some generator running

A series of simple patterns slowly build themselves into another song

I don't know how it happened

[Verse 7: Rosa]

In the false dawn everything is dreamlike and unreal

Somewhere on the periphery is a nightmare I still feel

The fireplace is flickering, black-haired bull is speaking by the bed

[Chorus: Behemoth's Voice]

You can love again if you try again

You can love again if you try again

You can love again if you try again

You can love again if you try again

You can love again if you try again

[Verse 8: Rosa]

Waves wash up the puzzle pieces of high school dioramas

Gifts for your nephew's birthday bring up scenes of childhood trauma

Magic eye clicks into focus, it's something you'd give your right eye to unsee

Is this the only way forward?

[Verse 9: Rosa]

I've called to you a thousand times to take away this cup

But there will be no miracles 'til the ransom's added up

Just tell me what you want from me

Tell me what would make it be enough

[Chorus: Behemoth's Voice]

You can love again if you try again

(I've never seen God in my lifetime)

You can love again if you try again

(Peace in glory above)

You can love again if you try again

(Why is there so little water?)

You can love again if you try again

(You can love again if you try again)

You can love again if you try again

[Post-Chorus: Rosa]

Now you have me as I was born

My breaking heart beats between your horns

What comes next, beloved pet?

I'll be patient waiting for the time to come

To be opened up, helpless and undone

[Bridge: Rosa]

I can't run anymore

I can't run anymore

I can't run anymore

I can't run anymore

I can't run anymore

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 10: Rosa]

I lay me down again to sleep

Another soul must be redeemed

Hidden behind a thousand eyes

A hostage heart, a scrap of light

The naked priest, the introvert

The millionaire, conspirator

Misshapen form, rotten wheat

Like war porn, a constant feed

[Outro: Behemoth's Voice & Rosa]

You can love again if you try again

You can love again if you try again

You can love again if you try again

You can love again if you try again

You can love again if you try again

You can love again if you try again

You can love again if you try again

You can love, you can love, you can love, you can love

(You can love again, [?])

You can love

(You can love again, [?])

If you try

(You can love again, [?])

You can love

(You can love again, [?])

You can love
