Lyrics

[00:35.80] It was a long and dark December
[00:36.72] From the rooftops I remember
[00:41.74] There was snow
[00:44.70] White snow
[00:48.57] Clearly I remember
[00:51.23] From the windows they were watching
[00:54.48] While we froze down below
[01:00.65] When the future's architecture
[01:03.77] By a carnival of idiots on show
[01:09.49] You'd better lie low
[01:13.05] If you love me
[01:16.11] Won't you let me know?
[01:24.35] Was a long and dark December
[01:27.21] When the banks became cathedrals
[01:30.32] And a fox
[01:33.38] Became God
[01:37.10] Priests clutched onto bibles
[01:39.75] Hollowed out to fit their rifles
[01:42.92] And the cross was held aloft
[01:49.54] lBury me in armor
[01:52.51] When I'm dead end hit the ground
[01:55.36] My nerves are poles that unfroze
[02:01.53] And if you love me
[02:05.39] Won't you let me know?
[02:38.70] I don't want to be a soldier
[02:41.86] Who the captain of some sinking ship
[02:45.16] Would stow, far below
[02:50.83] So if you love me
[02:53.59] Why'd you let me go?
[03:03.67] I took my love down to Violet Hill
[03:09.36] There we sat in snow
[03:14.06] All that time she was silent still
[03:18.82] So if you love me
[03:22.25] Won't you let me know?
[03:26.85] If you love me
[03:30.12] Won't you let me know?
