Different Civilizations Part 2

Do you remember when we saw,
The holy men in their black robes,
As they arrived singing to their god?

You blushed when I said you had Elysian eyes,
I said I left my old ways behind,
But I held on for my life,
Even when your love set me free,

The holy men kept passionate words for their god,
But everything about you,
I would applaud

For Him, there was no pain they would not endure,
But they said love made me an idolater

When they said they would harm themselves in the name of God,
they were seen as pious men,

but when I said I would do it for you,
It was madness to them,

Now I wonder,
When I told you I loved,
You and only you,
Did you think it was madness too?
