it's easier not to be wise 
and measure these things by your brains 
I sank into Eden with you 
alone in the church by and by 
I'll read to you here, save your eyes 
you'll need them, your boat is at sea 
your anchor is up, you've been swept away 
and the greatest of teachers won't hesitate 
to leave you there, by yourself, chained to fate 

I alone love you 
I alone tempt you 
I alone love you 
fear is not the end of this! 

it's easier not to be great 
and measure these things by your eyes 
we long to be here by his resolve 
alone in the church by and by 
to cradle the baby in space 
and leave you there by yourself chained to fate 

oh, now, we took it back too far, 
only love can save us now, 
all these riddles that you burn 
all [bad word]  back to you, 
all these rhythms that you hide 
only love can save us now, 
all these riddles that you burn yeah, yeah, yeah
