Temple Of Love
by Sisters of Mercy
/3/
With the fire from the fireworks up above me with a
gun for a lover and a shot for the pain at hand you
run for cover in the temple of love you
run for another but still the same for the
wind will blow my name across this land
in the temple of love you hide together
believing pain and fear outside but
someone near you rides the weather
and the tears he cried will rain on
walls as wide as lovers' eyes
in the temple of love: shine like thunder
in the temple of love: cry like rain
in the temple of love: hear my calling
in the temple of love: hear my name
and the devil in a black dress watches over
my guardian angel walks away
life is short and love is always over in the morning
black wind come carry me far away
with the sunlight died and night above me with a
gun for a lover and a shot for the pain inside you
Run for cover in the temple of love you
run for another it's all the same for the
wind will blow and throw your walls aside
with the fire from the fireworks up above with a
gun for a lover and a shot for the pain you
run for cover in the temple of love I
shine like thunder cry like rain and the
temple of love grows old and strong but the
wind blows stronger cold and long and the
temple of love will fall before this
black wind calls my name to you no more
In the black sky thunder sweeping under
ground and over water sounds of
crying weeping will not save your
faith for bricks and dreams for mortar
all your prayers must seem as nothing
ninety-six below the wave when
stone is dust and only air remains
in the temple of love: shine like thunder
in the temple of love: cry like rain
in the temple of love: hear the calling
and the temple of love is falling down
In the temple of love: shine like thunder
in the temple of love: cry like rain
in the temple of love: hear my calling
in the temple of love: hear my name
in the black sky thunder sweeping under
ground and over water sounds of
crying weeping will not save your
faith for bricks and dreams for mortar
all your prayers must seem as nothing
ninety-six below the wave when
stone is dust and air remains the
only haven you can trust and the
devil in a black dress watches over
my guardian angel walks away
life is short and love is always over in the morning
black wind come carry me far away
with the fire from the fireworks up above with a
gun for a lover and a shot for the pain you
run for cover in the temple of love I
shine like thunder cry like rain and the
temple of love grows old and strong but the
wind blows stronger cold and long and the
temple of love will fall before this
black wind calls my name to you no more
In the temple of love you hide together
believing pain and fear outside but
someone near you rides the weather
and the tears he cried will fall as
rain on walls as wide as lovers' eyes
in the temple of love: shine like thunder
in the temple of love: cry like rain
in the temple of love: hear my calling
and the temple of love is falling down
