Take Me Back

Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower
We will grieve not, but rather find
Strength in what remains behind

Our love was like the white heat that radiates from the sun
And like the earth I followed my eternal one
She was my lover, she was my life
Until I went crazy and I killed her with a knife

Take me back
Take me back
God, if you want me, you take me
Take me back

Good intentions were swallowed
All dreams have died
And the horrors have followed me into the night
I wish I could change what I have done
I wish I could blot out the vision of my dead loved one
(I wish I could blot out the vision, I wish I could change)

Take me back
Take me back
God, if you want me, you take me
Take me back

God, if you want me, you take me
God, if you want me, you take me

Take me back
Take me back
God, if you want me, take me, take me
Take me back
