Should I try to take you in? Another fool brought to the fold With not a gaze or arms but deathlike grip to hold To hold To hold To hold Should I try to take you in? And hope for the prefect docile pet Hope that you´ll not defile or wreck my home Sweet home Sweet home Sweet home Here there´s only faith no doubt You can be taken anywhere Here is where you choose the place With pleasure and pain in equal share A refuge for truth and deceit Where all who come are taken in Should I try to take you in? Pretending what you have not felt In passion sorrow sleep or death eyes closed Eyes closed Eyes closed Eyes closed Here there´s only faith no doubt You can be taken anywhere Here is where you choose the place With pleasure and pain in equal share A refuge for truth and deceit Where all who come are taken in Should I try to take you in? Who´ll pity me if I forget? It´s said to be and not to be in love Is to regret Regret Regret Regret Here there´s only faith no doubt You can be taken anywhere Here is where you choose the place With pleasure and pain in equal share A refuge for truth and deceit Where all who come are taken in Should I try to take you in? Who´ll pity me if I forget? For those who´ve never been in love Need to forget Forget Forget
