Left at the Altar OR Peace Held and Crushed
Consider my peace held
But I am going to confession
I’m outside that great oak box
And I can tell the priest is waiting
With such patience as I weave my basket
Full of lies and misconceptions
Here I am at my own altar
Waiting for a bridegroom
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it
You must have known how I felt
I held my peace though not forever
And I’m waiting for you to let go of yours
And embrace the war
Let’s embrace the war
I am finished with confession
I have no more news to tell
My sins are said and done with
I have exited the depths of hell
My peace is held
In confidence
I confess to you
I confessed to him
The things I’ll never let breach my lips
Or sail upon this breath of devils
Now do I hold you
Til death do we part
In sickness and health
Til your health breaks my heart
