Circle around me and gather me into your arms!
Scheme and plot, and slay me with your love!
Circle around me and gather me into your arms!
Scheme and plot, and slay me with your love!
Blazing fiercely,
as dreams catch fire
and spread all around,
come like a cool breeze,
and lighten my heavy burden.
Where body clashes with soul,
surrender to this battle of love!
Circle around me and gather me into your arms!
Scheme and plot, and slay me with your love!
We must spread a bed of mercury,
spread it out,
and you must glow like phosphorus.
We must pluck the fruit hidden inside the flower,
pluck it out,
and caught in your hold, I must tremble with longing!
One turn for you,
one turn for me,
tell me the rules for this wild play!
While wiping my tears,
you must hold my hand.
Why should love have any shame?
Pressing lips
to lips, let us unite,
and bring this night to a standstill!
Circling around, circling around,
circling around,
circling around, circling around,
circling around...
Hey, circle around me and gather me into your arms!
Scheme and plot, and slay me with your love!
The clouds must catch fire,
catch fire,
and you must splash water to put it out.
The angel must be possessed by a spirit,
get possessed,
and you must perform rituals to drive it away.
Gathering all our kisses,
binding them like pages into a book,
tell me a brand new story!
There is a battlefield,
and there is a bed of flowers;
in love, both are one and the same!
Let us entwine our fingers,
and put an end to this long wait!
Circling around, circling around,
circling around...
Hey, circle around me and gather me into your arms!
Scheme and plot, and slay me with your love!
Circle around me and gather me into your arms!
Scheme and plot, and slay me with your love!
Blazing fiercely,
as dreams catch fire
and spread all around,
come like a cool breeze,
and lighten my heavy burden.
Where body clashes with soul,
surrender to this battle of love!
