Lyrics
Demonize — the devil in me By way of wicked men — with their wicked tongues clacking.
I don’t mind — chastise.
Taste my lips — they burn from the running…
I’VE TOUCHED THE SUN ON HIGH
AND TORE MY MIND AS I FELL FROM THE SKY;
I’VE BURNED MY TONGUE IN THIRST OF PEACE…
LIKE A HORRID BOLT FROM THE BLUE
I GUILD THE LILY AND FIND NOTHING IN YOU,
SO I WASH MY HANDS SO CLEAN OF THIS…
Lay me down — cast a sun shadow,
Let me blind my gaze — on you, you jackdaw widow.
The waking hours — have slowed.
Breathe it in — for your embrace has become a garrote…
I’VE TOUCHED THE SUN ON HIGH
AND TORE MY MIND AS I FELL FROM THE SKY;
I’VE BURNED MY TONGUE IN THIRST OF PEACE…
LIKE A HORRID BOLT FROM THE BLUE
I GUILD THE LILY AND FIND NOTHING IN YOU,
SO I WASH MY HANDS SO CLEAN OF THIS…
BRIDGE:
The crescendo to your revenge has fallen on deaf ears
For in the fullness of time, all will mean nothing.
Your kind, I’ve learned off pat through these fruitless years —
But I’ve got it in the neck for conducting this symphony
In a way…
I’VE TOUCHED THE SUN ON HIGH
AND TORE MY MIND AS I FELL FROM THE SKY;
I’VE BURNED MY TONGUE IN THIRST OF PEACE…
LIKE A HORRID BOLT FROM THE BLUE
I GUILD THE LILY AND FIND NOTHING IN YOU,
SO I WASH MY HANDS SO CLEAN OF THIS…
SO CLEAN OF THIS…
