I vow to thee, my screen,
there is no earthly thing above
entire whole and perfect
you’re the service of my love:
the love that asks no questions
the love that stands the test
you lay upon the altar
you’re the dearest and the best.

The love that never falter
the love that pays the price
the love that makes undaunted
the final sacrifice.
I heard my screen calling me
away across the sea
across the waste of waters
she calls and calls to me

No sword is girded at my side
no helmet on my head
around my feet are lying
the dying and the dead.
I’m slowly decomposing
I vow to thee, my screen,
I lay upon your altar
while you find me with your sin.

I vow to thee, my screen,
there is no earthly thing above
entire whole and perfect
you’re the service of my love:
the love that asks no questions
the love that stands the test
you lay upon the altar
you’re the dearest and the best.
