Ashes In Hand

(앨범: Do We Speak A Dead Language? - 1996)

Sex kills!...

We will look into the eyes of the other and lie
And say that we love them
Then strip the innocence given and create
Destruction we will never truly comprehend
The ultimate act of sharing is reduced
To the ultimate act of taking
Seconds of trembling flesh is not worth
Years of inner suffering

Taken away!
Taken away!
Sex kills!
Taken away!
Taken away!
Sex kills!

Do my eyes betray what I feel and see
Exploitation leads to the abandoned seed
This is no sexual liberation
We have accepted desecration
And when they've taken and taken and taken and taken
Beyond hope and healing left alone with your feelings
Your mourning will have no mercy
It will steal from so much more than your body

Taken away!
Taken away!
Sex kills!
Taken away!
Taken away!
Sex kills!

I would rather seek the peace of self then play the games
That force the scars of lifelong insecurity
Frightening desires for dominant position
When all we should be doing is loving!

Taken away!
Taken away!
Sex kills!
Taken away!
Taken away!
Sex kills!

Sex is a weapon!
Sex can kill!
Sex is a weapon!
Sex can kill!
