Lyrics
Oh my woman, oh my lover
Why’d you treat me so bad
You know I need you, you know I want you
Still you treat me so bad
Now that I’m bleeding, now that I’m broken
Take the knife from my back
Dressed in black and quiet retreat
An aching tongue to an ancient beat
The blood pools ‘round the angels feet like drops of morning dew
I lost myself but not the war
A falcon ain’t afraid to fall
The raven licks the razors edge with steely shadowed eyes
The princess takes her evening shower and strips away those wanting hours
With all my might and all my power, I shall be released
For what is it that we’ve become, bought and sold all that they’d won
We live alone but die as one never to repeat
Oh my woman, oh my lover
Why’d you treat me so bad
For I have seen the burning pyres of lustless lies and cold desires
Rise into eternal skies and drop like dead leaves
Stranger is the question then of love and loss and breathless end
Always trying to pretend a hand shall guide you home
Oh my woman, oh my lover
Why’d you treat me so dam bad
The echoed words between the silence
Go around my head like screaming sirens
I remember when, but I can’t remember how.
And I ain’t going down like that.
