lyrics

If holy worth was stronger,
Would you put your faith in me?
And no, I never learned to charm my serpent tongue,
We sin so differently

Would you deny this voice no longer?
Spare a verse to hear me say
''For heaven's sake let us love
Or there’ll be hell to pay''.

I'll watch you lace the wine and bleed for the others,
When thrown to the lions you'll walk on all fours.

Draw your best and your worst from a hunger,
That leads you down upon your knees,
If splinters could talk would you listen?, or am I pricking the fingers of a pride that just wont bleed?

I'll watch you lace the wine and feed off the others,
When thrown to the lions you'll walk on all fours,
Chase the light that frames these shadows' haunts
These lonely creatures yearn to be adored

You were holding out for,
(The sound of the lifeblood calling)
A stronger heart to bear these thorns,
(The weight of the summer rain)
Where I would spend all my life just to live, just to learn
And embrace this loveless dying art,
And flourish in the dark
We flourish in the dark.

Open arms and waiting for you, to breathe like the first time (Who's calling, he's calling I'm calling)
Open arms and craving for you 'til dawn in the dusk. (Who's calling, he's calling I'm calling)
Show me how to rain dance, maybe
I'm aching but you'll never see.
Come painted all over, and give yourself to me

To live by the sword was to die by the sword.
