Take a blazing brand
And burn joy into my flesh
That the pain will always remind
Of the happiness I feel
Let me be scorched
In the glory we call delight
That my ruined flesh testifies
Bears witness to my bliss
Take a blazing brand
And burn joy into my flesh
That the pain will always remind
Of the happiness I feel
Let me be scorched
In the glory we call delight
That my ruined flesh testifies
Bears witness to my bliss
