Violent Hill

Was a long and dark December from the roof-tops 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 frost became God

Priests clutched onto bibles are rolled out to fit their rifles and the cross was held aloft
Bury me in honour When I’m dead and hit the ground Well, Loves opposed will unfold

If you love me, won’t you let me know? I wanna be as counter Or the captain of some stinkin’ ship With stone, far below 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
