Violet Hill

[00:34.58] Was a long and dark December

[00:38.04] From the rooftops I remember

[00:40.96] There was snow

[00:44.15] White snow

[00:47.87] Clearly I remember

[00:50.53] From the windows they were watching

[00:53.44] While we froze down below

[01:00.09] When the future's architecture

[01:03.27] By a carnival of idiots on show

[01:08.85] You'd better lie low

[01:12.30] If you love me

[01:15.50] Won't you let me know?

[01:23.99] Was a long and dark December

[01:26.91] When the banks became cathedrals

[01:29.84] And the fog

[01:32.76] Became God

[01:36.48] Priests clutched onto bibles

[01:39.40] Hollowed out to fit their rifles

[01:42.32] And the cross was held aloft

[01:49.23] Bury me in armor

[01:52.15] When I'm dead and hit the ground

[01:54.80] My nerves are poles that unfroze

[02:01.18] If you love me

[02:04.63] Won't you let me know?

[02:38.10] I don't want to be a soldier

[02:41.02] Who the captain of some sinking ship

[02:44.48] Would stow

[02:47.13] Far below

[02:50.32] So if you love me

[02:53.51] Why'd you let me go?

[03:02.28] I took my love down to violet hill

[03:08.12] There we sat in snow

[03:13.43] All the time she was silent and still

[03:18.48] So if you love me

[03:21.93] Won't you let me know?

[03:26.45] If you love me

[03:29.63] Won't you let me know?
