Violet Hill Lyrics

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 Fox
Became God

Priests clutched onto bibles
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
And the cross was held aloft Bury me in armor
When I'm dead and hit the ground
My nerves are poles, that unfroze

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

If you love me,
Why'd you let me go?

I took my love down to Violet Hill
There we sat in the 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?
