Lyrics

[00:35.77] It was a long and dark December
[00:38.47] From the rooftops I remember
[00:41.58] There was snow
[00:44.63] White snow
[00:48.52] Clearly I remember
[00:51.13] From the windows they were watching
[00:54.17] While we froze down below
[01:00.67] When the future's architectured
[01:03.78] By a carnival of idiots on show
[01:09.17] You'd better lie low
[01:12.92] If you love me
[01:15.72] Won't you let me know?
[01:23.91] It was a long and dark December
[01:27.12] When the banks became cathedrals
[01:30.31] And the fox became God
[01:36.98] Priests clutched onto bibles
[01:39.84] Hollowed out to fit their rifles
[01:42.73] And the cross was held aloft
[01:50.06] Bury me in armor
[01:52.76] When I'm dead and hit the ground
[01:55.62] Love is poem that unfolds
[02:01.92] And if you love me
[02:04.91] Won't you let me know?
[02:39.06] I don't want to be a soldier
[02:41.76] With the captain of some sinking ship
[02:45.21] Would stow, far below
[02:50.75] So if you love me
[02:54.14] Why'd you let me go?
[03:03.69] I took my love down to violet hill
[03:09.59] There we sat in snow
[03:14.14] All that time she was silent, still
[03:19.14] Said if you love me
[03:22.45] Won't you let me know?
[03:27.25] If you love me
[03:30.42] Won't you let me know?
