I Vow to Thee, My Screen

I vow to thee, my screen

There’s no earthly things above

Entire, whole and perfect

You’re the service of my love

The love that brought no questions

The love that stands the test

You lay upon the altar

You’re the dearest and the best

The love that never falters

The love that pays the price

The love that makes an altar

The final sacrifice

I heard my screen, calling me

Away across the scene

Across the waves, the waters

She courts and calls to me

Ooh, ahh ah-ah-ah

Ooh, ahh ah-ah-ah

Ooh, ahh ah-ah-ah

Ooh, ahh ah-ah-ah

No sword is cladded at my side

No helmet on my head

The Romans feed the lion

The dying and the dead

I’m slowly decomposing

I vow to thee, my screen

I lay upon your altar

While you feed me with your sin

I vow to thee, my screen

There’s no earthly things above

Entire, whole, and perfect

You’re the service of my love

The love that brought no questions

The love that stands the test

I lay upon your altar

You’re the dearest and the best
