Races - Lover, Lover, Lover

I asked my Father
I said, "Father change my name"
The one I'm using now it's covered up
With fear and filth and cowardice and shame

Yes and lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, lover
Come back to me

Yes and lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, lover
Come back to me

He said, "I locked you in this body
I meant it as a kind of trial
You could use it for a weapon
Or to make some woman smile"

Lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, lover
Come back to me

Yes and lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, lover
Come back to me

"I never turned aside," he said
"No I never ran away
Well it was you who built my temple
You who covered up my face"

Yes and lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, lover
Come back to me

Yes and lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, lover
Come back to me

Lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, lover
Come back to me

Yes and lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, lover
Please, just back to me

You can come to me in happiness
Or come to me in greed
You can come in deepest faith
Or come in disbelief

Yes and lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, lover
Come back to me

Yes and lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, lover
Come back to me
