Lyrics

[offset:-100]
[00:17.86] "Her penultimate sighs
[00:20.17] Called softly on the kindling winds
[00:21.92] Her saintly eyes, filling with tears, lifting with truth
[00:24.34] And then a golden flash like the onset of Heaven
[00:28.52] Leaving her screams, Breaking my heart
[00:31.52] And in the grip of fire
[00:33.07] I knew the death of love"
[00:52.59][01:05.50] Where will you be when they tense for warfare?
[00:56.86] What will you see with your innocence there?
[01:00.97][01:18.30][02:28.23][02:45.70][05:30.38][05:47.87] Where will you be my darling?
[01:09.80][01:22.86] Where will you be when God is glorifying?
[01:13.96] There we will be between the dead and dying
[01:31.46] Prophecies and glory forge a massive disdain
[01:39.48] For lying passive in the shadows whilst the enemy reigns
[01:48.90] Devoted to the votive, holy standard above
[01:57.42] 'By command of the king of Heaven'
[01:59.62] Came the death of love
[02:19.91][02:32.87] Where will you be when they're vilifying?
[02:24.24] How will they see when the truth is blinding?
[02:37.05][02:50.25] Where will you be when the dark is rising?
[02:41.28] How will you keep from it's terrorizing?
[03:04.78] Burning was the sunset like a portent of doom
[03:11.51] On the saintly iron maiden as she fell from her wound
[03:16.50] But visions and ambition
[03:18.26] Never listened to submission
[03:20.30] And she was on a mission from the highest above
[03:24.84] To Lord upon the slaughter
[03:26.70] Like a sword through hissing water
[03:28.80] She arose where archers sought her
[03:31.11] For the death of love
[03:40.23] The righteous death of love
[03:52.49] Gilles adored her drama
[03:53.64] Her suit of pure white armour
[03:55.62] Blazed against the English in a torrent of light
[04:01.50] And as they rallied onto night
[04:04.22] A cancer fled his soul
[04:07.43] Dissolving...
[04:11.99][06:32.44] Framed amid the thick of fire
[04:16.18][06:35.79] Aflame, a Valkyrie
[04:20.82] She made him click without desire
[04:25.39][06:45.19] And in his eyes she swam a Goddess
[04:47.21] And even when they caught her breath
[04:51.25][06:54.27] Her words would leave a scar
[04:55.85][06:58.12] 'For only in the grip of darkness
[05:00.23][07:02.79] Will we shine amidst the brightest stars'
[05:22.12][05:35.07] How will you breathe when their wheels are turning?
[05:26.24] How will you know if the sky is burning?
[05:39.31] Where will you be when Babel builds my fire?
[05:43.43] Will you not flee and label me pariah?
[05:52.27] Where will you be when they light my pyre?
[06:01.28] Aligned with Joan in all
[06:03.10] That was enthroned and divine
[06:09.68] He swore to score the crimes
[06:11.44] Jackdaws poured on this dove
[06:18.50] Crimes he knew alone
[06:19.93] Derived from minds of the blind
[06:27.09] The church unfurled for murder perched
[06:29.27] Upon the death of love
[06:40.48] She claimed the sky was lit with spires
[06:51.26] And even when she fought for breath
