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 the fog, 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 unfolds
If you love me, Won’t you let me know?
I don’t want to be a soldier, With the captain of some sinking ship
With snow, 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?
