So wake up The crying has got to stop It squeezes your hand gently And tells you it's safe to jump Some few but loving words Pulse, breath, need Piece, death, freed Sleep with grace The forgiving embrace Lie awake, stare out straight And then release to me your hate Touch yourself with your cross It embraces all of us Let its edge rip your skin Let it please you, let it in First your blood and then your love Absolution saves me You know how to get your kicks Make love to your crucifix And pray if he sees you You'd mouth off his needs too Sweat so sweet Your cut, your feat And this is your place The forgiving embrace Set your aim, don't be shy Don't waste time aiming too high Give him praise or give him head It might just turn you on instead All your goals, nothingness You should go for nothing less The time is here, do it now You just got redemption
