Without your kiss
I don't want to live
I'll stay forever
In the darkness you give
It's just that I consider it my due
For all the transgressions I made against you
I don't mind how far I have to fall
To find your mercy at the end of it all
Please take me back to you
There's nothing else I'd want to do
I feel like an alien underground
I've got little forces through which I'm bound
With you at the end I may defend
And lay me down here to mend
My broken scarred body
My soul does wait
For you to open your heavenly gate
Without your kiss
I don't want to live
I'll stay forever
In the darkness you give
I'll just consider it my due
For all the transgressions I've made against you
I don't mind how far I have to fall
To find your mercy at the end of it all
Please take me back to you
There's nothing else I would want to do
I feel like an alien underground
I've got little forces through which I'm bound
With you at the end I may defend
My broken scarred body
My soul does wait
For you to open your heavenly gate
