The Waterboys The Waterboys - Universal Hall Lyrics

i sacrifice my power on the altar of your love
that it may be born again on another world

in this library i could lose myself
transports, gateways on every shelf
dark words, bright words of ice and fire
as if an angel did descend and use the writer as a pen
for here are 'avalon of the heart'
'flight into freedom'
macdonald's 'lilith' and 'fantastes'
lewis's 'perelandra'

i sacrifice my power on the altar of your love
that it may be born again on another world

come friend, let us climb the winding flights of stairs
through the narrow door into the chamber bare
a single candle burns as we seat ourselves
words take form in our minds and repeat themselves :
"my beloved and i are one
my beloved and i are one
