When my lifetime had just ended   And my death had just begun   I told you I’d never leave you   But I knew this day would come      Give me blood for my blood wedding   I am ready to be born   I feel new   As if this body were the first I’d ever worn      I need straw for the straw fire   I need hard earth for the plow   Don't ask me to reconsider   I am ready to go now      I'm going in I’m going in   This is how it starts   I can see in so far   But afterwards we always forget   Who we are      I'm going in I’m going in   I can stand the pain   And the blinding heat   'Cause I won't remember you   The next time we meet      You'll be making the arrangements   You'll be trying to set me free   Not a moment for the meeting   I'll be busy as a bee      You'll be talking to me   But I just won't understand   I'll be falling by the wayside   You'll be holding out your hand      Don't you tempt me with perfection   I have other things to do   I didn't burrow this far in   Just to come right back to you      I'm going in I’m going in   I have never been so ugly   I have never been so slow   These prison walls get closer now   The further in I go      I'm going in I’m going in   I like to see you from a distance   And just barely believe   And think that   Even lost and blind   I still invented love      I'm going in   I’m going in   I’m going in
