Lyrics

Here is your crown
And your seal and rings;
And here is your love
For all things

Here is your cart
And your cardboard and piss;
And here is your love
For all of this

May everyone live
And may everyone die
Hello, my love
And my love, goodbye

Here is your wine
And your drunken fall;
And here is your love
Your love for it all

Here is your sickness
Your bed and your pan;
And here is your love
For the woman, the man

May everyone live
And may everyone die
Hello, my love
And, my love, goodbye

And here is the night
The night has begun;
And here is your death
In the heart of your son

And here is the dawn
(Until death do us part);
And here is your death
In your daughter's heart

May everyone live
And may everyone die
Hello, my love
And, my love, goodbye

And here you are hurried
And here you are gone;
And here is the love
That it's all built upon

Here is your cross
Your nails and your hill;
And here is the love
That lists where it will

May everyone live
And may everyone die
Hello, my love
And my love, goodbye
