Covenant

I thought we had a deal
You were never gonna feel
Let them take and steal
Your heart would remain in tact

I've pulled a few fast ones
Made love without abandon
You wanna know what happened?
Hear the sad one singing in your ear

Never meant to be a bad guy
Can't say I never thieved or lied
They try and pin ya dead or alive
Mostly… I make out like a bandit

But I thought he had a plan
Gonna seal it with the blood of a lamb
Load the barrel and get the sacred man -
So sure we'd never look back

He placed me on the bed
Pushed his hand through my hair and said:
Wine and blood are both red
And neither do a thing for me at all

I just lay there and I wept
He climbed off and got dressed
Next time if ever again
I'll bring you a rose

You can see it on my face
Life has left her trace
I'm a much colder place
Along with a broken pact
