Ancient Melody

If your tears fall in the night
I shall light for you my joy as a bunch of straw
If your bones shall ache from cold
I shall cover you and lay myself on the stone
 
If you tell the dance to come to you
On the last of my strings I shall play
If you are short of a birthday gift
My life and death I shall give you
 
And if bread you need or wine
I shall go out of the house, my back bent
And shall sell my two eyes
To bring you both wine and bread
 
But if at one time you shall be laughing
Without me at the party of your friends
My jealousy shall pass, silent
And burn your house down with you
 
Hebrew

Surely a read through of the lyrics is enough to confirm why this is marked as explicit.
