lyrics

Midnight.
Have you got a light?
There there, it's alright.
That old flame found me again
And in her I swear
I saw Heaven silhouetted by the light of Hellfire.
There was nothing I regretted more than that desire,
Walking the high wire,
Trading the net for the noose.
Hey darling why are you always looking down?
If you're dreaming of the Devil
He will surely come around,
Trip your treasons up
Then tease them out.
These treacheries are easier the truths.

Sirens always sing the same sad songs,
Don't you worry though,
We'll only hear them once.
Leaving love to chance
Was the worst way we could ever go.

Slow...
Fade that moon's glow.
Stay close,
Stay close.
Let me be the card up your sleeve:
I don't want to play,
I just want to be played.

Because I've seen Heaven silhouetted by the light of Hellfire,
There's been nothing I've regretted more than that desire,
Love's idle empire,
Cheering all the cherubs on to war.
Hey darling why you looking so mean?
You know I haven't sought a single soul
Since I was seventeen,
Just a string of magazines
That suckled all the sickly and the sore.

Sirens always sing the same sad songs,
Don't you worry though,
We'll only hear them once.
Leaving love to chance
Was the worst way we could ever go.

Heaven silhouetted by the light of Hellfire
There was nothing we regretted more than that desire,
Love's Final Empire,
Chasing all the cherubs on to war...

Torn.
Stay until dawn.
Sanctus,
Sanctus.
You'll be
A strange memory
But tonight
Won't you give me a light?
