Only son
you choose me for your champion
Such a passionate fling
for a virgin king
Foolish one
am I to be the only one
To take all the blame
Will the blood be in my name
By the clear light of the morning
it's easy to see
what a ridiculous scapegoat you made out of me
I hear my loved ones calling
Such a hysterical lover you turned out to be
I've a cross to bear
They've put aside a thorny crown for me to wear
And made endless warfare
of my passionate whisper's
Foolish one
Am I to be the only one
To take all the blame
Will the blood be in my name
Only son
You choose me for your champion
Such a passionate fling
For a virgin king
you choose me for your champion
Such a passionate fling
for a virgin king
Foolish one
am I to be the only one
To take all the blame
Will the blood be in my name
By the clear light of the morning
it's easy to see
what a ridiculous scapegoat you made out of me
I hear my loved ones calling
Such a hysterical lover you turned out to be
I've a cross to bear
They've put aside a thorny crown for me to wear
And made endless warfare
of my passionate whisper's
Foolish one
Am I to be the only one
To take all the blame
Will the blood be in my name
Only son
You choose me for your champion
Such a passionate fling
For a virgin king
