Lyrics

[00:44.44] She rises early from bed
[00:48.60] Runs to the mirror
[00:50.41] The bruises inflicted in moments of fury
[00:57.19] He kneels beside her once more
[01:01.53] Whispers a promise
[01:03.58] "Next time I'll break every bone in your body"
[01:12.10] And the well-wishers let the devil in
[01:20.81] And if the river ran dry they'd deny it happening
[01:30.77] As the card players deal their hands
[01:34.34] From the bottom of the deck
[01:39.13] Row upon row of feudal houses blow away
[01:48.49] Medicine for the popular complaint
[01:59.67] When the poets dreamed of angels
[02:03.62] What did they see?
[02:05.77] History lined up in a flash at their backs
[02:11.90] When the poets dreamed of angels
[02:15.76] What did they see?
[02:17.98] The bishops and knights well placed to attack
