When love comes calling in the dead of night With wings spread wide and talons bright You say "follow me" through storms and rain Through pleasure, through the sweetest pain I know your sword will make me bleed But still I follow where you lead Love will crown you, love will break you Build you up just to forsake you Strip you bare until you're naked Sacred fire gonna make it Holy, holy, what you do to me Cruel and holy, how you move through me (How you move through me) Like scattered wheat upon the floor You thresh my soul and then some more Grind me down to purest white Knead my spirit in the night Till I'm ready for your sacred flame I'll never be the same again [Repeat Chorus] Don't tell me you want just the pleasure Without all the pain and the pressure Better run from this threshing floor 'Cause love's gonna shake you to your core But if you're brave enough to stay Love will light your darkest day I wake at dawn with wings of fire Bleeding joy and sweet desire Dancing in love's ecstasy As it carves its path through me I am not in control Love possesses my whole soul Love will crown you, love will break you Build you up just to forsake you Strip you bare until you're naked Sacred fire gonna make it Holy, holy, what you do to me Cruel and holy, how you move through me (How you move through me) When love beckons, follow him Though his ways are hard and steep When love beckons, follow him Into waters dark and deep
