Take Me To the Altar

Take me to the altar tonight 
The guided vaults can't stop us 
Re-echoe those heart blowing 
Words of yours that engulfed me 
Like fireworks shining bright in the sky 
That I am better than thousand 
The numbers that sets me up 

Take me to the altar tonight 
Re-echoe those heart blowing 
Lyrics of paradise lost and regained 
Within our hearts love is reawakened 
With those eyes plugged deep 
Down underneath this earthen cloak 
See to it that you hurt me not 

Take me to the altar tonight 
Retold me about the tales of 
Roses at the shore of river Nile 
The roses that witness the first 
Civilization of the world at large 
Speak to me tonight or never 
Days wasted in nothing is dangerous 
My heart beats for you my darling 

Take me to the altar tonight 
Reassured me that my love is fire like 
Garnished with laughter and joy 
Happiness to be together forever 
Don't wait for another day to come 
Tonight is the night Daddy 
Take me to the altar and make love to me
We shall give birth to holy things
