Pray Your Gods Lyrics - Fear - Toad The Wet Sprocket

I will give the secrets you request 

And you will be the one to sacrifice 

So lay your olive arms upon my breast 

And sing the poems, free the butterflies 

Pray your Gods who ask you for your blood 

For they are strong and angry jealous ones 

Or lay upon my altar now your love 

I fear my time is short 

There are armies moving close 

Be quick, my love 

I feel my body weakened by the years 

As people turn to Gods of cruel design 

Is it that they fear the pain of death? 

Or could it be they fear the joy of life 

Pray your Gods who'll hold you by your fear 

For they are quick and ruthless punishers 

Or lay upon my altar now your love 

Fear my day is done 

There are armies moving on 

Be quick, my love
