Caedmon's Call - "Lover" lyrics

Like a man comes to an altar I came into this town With the world upon my shoulders I went into the water and promises passed down My father, he was pleased So you will be set free I built it and Ill tear it down But I found thieves and salesmen Living in my father's house I know how they got in here and I know how to get them out Im turning this place over From floor to balcony Oh, you will be set free and then just like these doves and sheep Some things I loved easy Ive always been a lover Before I drew a breath and some Ill loved to death Because love's a politician It listens carefully So you will be set free So of those who come, I can't lose one Go on and make me up But go on and take my picture Ill still be your defender Youll be my missing son Just to bring you back to me Ill send out an army Oh, you will be set free Because regardless of your brother's lies I am my beloveds and my beloveds mine So you bring all your history Ill bring the bread and wine and we'll have us a party Where all drinks are on me Because as surely as the rising sun Oh, you will be set free
