Violet Hill
Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
There was snow
White snow
Clearly I remember
From the windows
They were watching
While we froze down below
When the future's architectured
By a carnival of idiots on show
You'd better lie low
If you love me
Won't you let me know?
Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And a fox became God
Priests clutched onto bibles
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
And the cross was held aloft
Bury me in honor
When I'm dead and hit the ground
A love back home it unfolds
If you love me
Won't you let me know?
I don't want to be a soldier
Who the captain
Of some sinking ship
Would stow, far below
So if you love me
Why'd you let me go?
I took my love
Down to Violet hill
There we sat in snow
All that time
She was silent still
So if you love me
Won't you let me know?
If you love me,
Won't you let me know?
