Sanctify

Irons on the altar New chains, Same cage, Always a Mother or a daughter Good grace, Gives way To red rage They crave the rose, Curse the thorns Cry for love, Show of force Kill the thing They adore Yah yah yah yah yah yah Every night they were burning her down Golden the ashes they cover the ground Never dared to raise her high Sainted in the afterlife Sanctify me, Strike and light me Flames behind me Burn me down Sanctify me, Strike and light me Braid the ivy, braid the ivy Round my crown Holier than holy Painting my grief in gold leaf Hold power like an offering When I reach for it Put it to my lips You take it from me Crave the rose Curse the thorns Cry for love Show of force Kill the thing They adore Yah yah yah yah yah yah Every night they were burning her down Golden the ashes they cover the ground Never dared to raise her high Sainted in the afterlife Sanctify me, Strike and light me Flames behind me Burn me down Sanctify me, Strike and light me Braid the ivy, braid the ivy Round my crown Sanctify me, Strike and light me Flames behind me Burn me down Sanctify me, Strike and light me Braid the ivy, Round my crown Every night they were burning her down Golden the ashes they cover the ground
