Lend Your Love to Me Tonight Songtext

von Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Lend your love to me tonight
Don't ask me who or what is right
I have no strength, I cannot fight
Just flood my darkness with your light

I need no face, I need no name
No martyr's artificial shame
No crucifix, I am not lame
And yet I ache to feel the flame

Arrest the sun and shoot the moon
The lamp of laughter dies to soon
To live reflected in a spoon
Makes it so hard to stay in tune
Believe me.

Unlock the door and unbar the gate
I'll write I love you on the slate
And while St. Peter's thieve debate
The price of time I will not wait

Or let the start blind road of fate
Confuse me
Abuse me
Misuse me.

Release my soul, release my eyes
A clock unwinds, a flower dies
Dishonestly disqualifies
You win the race but lose the prize

A tattered cloak behind the throne
It is unseen, it is not known
Behind this face I am alone
I would give everything I own
To touch you.

Just lend your love to me once more
Don't ask me what I came that for
Just watch the moonlight cross the floor
And as your blood begins to roar

You feel your senses spin and soar
You will become my meteor
Divine and universal whore
Complete me.
