Altar of Love
Ben & Ellen Harper

she was his high school sweetheart, ‘til death do them part

wife of so many years, been through blood sweat and tears

she raises his kids, while he went out and did

all of those things a successful man does


he always works late, determines his own fate

he's found his true match, he's found his soul mate

sorry he says, sorry he feels

can't help himself he fell head over heels


and now she's another wife and a mother

sacrificed on the altar of love

she's just another wife and a mother

earning her righteous place up above



beautiful stranger, she's so enthralled

she hangs on every word, makes him feel like god

pleads with his dear wife, but she's heard it all twice

with stars in his eyes, it's true love! he cries


and now she's another, wife and a mother

sacrificed on the altar of love

she's just another wife and a mother

earning her righteous place up above
