lyrics

Yea though grief be upon me I am prepared for grief
I’ve stolen all the fruit and I’ve smoked all the leaf
I’ve cracked the wall I’ve walked the hall to understand the brief
Yea though grief be upon me I am prepared for grief

Yea though pain be upon me I am prepared for pain
I’ve borne the slap of thunder and the sting in the rain
I’ve felt the heat and the raw defeat that goes down in Lovers Lane
Yea though pain be upon me I am prepared for pain

Yea though sin be upon me I am prepared for sin
I’ve bought all the ingredients and I know when they go in
I’ve licked the spoon I’ve sung its tune I’ve climbed the bowl to be within
Yea though sin be upon me I am prepared for sin

One knock to open the door
Two eyes to search the floor
Three little words to implore
The four winds to rock the shore
5 and 6 and 7 kisses lead to so much more

Yea though fear be upon me I’m not afraid
I’ve danced with all the demons and the dragons have been slayed
Buried deep in the castle keep with tears and with spade
Yea though fear be upon me I am not afraid

Yea though death be upon me I'm not prepared for death
I will damn it from the mountaintop and curse it beneath my breath
I'll raise the roof I'll be living proof you're never licked until you've got nothing left
Yea though death be upon me I'm not prepared for death
