Oh, temple of love

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

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 longer cold and long
And the temple of love will fall before

This black wind calls my name to you no more

Oh, temple of love


In the black sky thunder sweeping
Underground 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 my calling
And the temple of love is falling down
