                | 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 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 you go
 I know better
 I know better
 I know better
