Silence Only Makes the Haters Stronger

Raise your voice, and make a fuss! Don't let fear and hate destroy humanity time and time again. Stop the harassment towards those of other races, genders, and sexual orientation. The death of Tyler Clementi and the other alleged gay teens is an unnecessary tragedy that could have and should have been avoided. We're all one, we're all equal. And no one deserves to live in fear.

"First they put away the dealers
Keep our kids safe and off the streets
Then they put away the prostitutes
Keep married men cloistered at home
Then they shooed away the bums
Then they beat and bashed the queers
Turned away the asylum seekers
Fed us suspicions and fears
We didn't raise our voice
We didn't make a fuss
It's funny there was no one left to notice when they came for us"

Song Search

HELP!

I've been searching for the identity of certain song for over a year now. I heard it spring 2008 during a promo for Showtime's The Tudors: Season 2.

The link to the video is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGZufg-4l0I
(The song begins around 1:19)

It is one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs I think I've ever heard. And it kills me that I don't own it. I sing it all the time and I really, really want to know the name of the woman who sings this song. Has anyone any idea? If so, please, PLEASE share. This obsession is driving me nuts!

The lyrics, so far as I can tell, during the chorus are:

"If you want my love, love me.
If you need me, find my heart and free me.
To tempt me, to bind me, fully gratify me.
If you want my love, love me"
