I saw you naked a December morning

The earth was trembling and the stars were falling

Tall, slim and slender, you slunk towards me

A sight for the whole world but me to see

The flames that once consumed me are dying

As you said "I love you", I knew you were lying


Under the cross a beggar is lying

Barefoot on the ground and he is crying

"Flee from me God, you're no longer with me

Release me from my role as one convicted"

The flames that once consumed me are dying

As you said you loved me, I knew you were lying


In the field, the peasant is kneeling

Hands and feet on the ground and he is screaming

"I've worked this soil yet it's betrayed me

That's the price I pay for loyalty"

The flames that once consumed me are dying

As I said "I love you" I knew I was lying
