lyrics

I heard you went down to the place
where the people all ask crows for songs

I heard you went down to the place
where the people all wear thorns as crowns

Did you get a chance to judge the girls for having a way of their own?
Did you get a chance to shoot (shoot the girls)
Shoot the girls as they breathe out their sins?

And you call them sins
(And you call them sins)

Are they really sins if you’re the one
whose doing the time?

Is it really true that you found her lying awake in the fire?
Her body was barely recognizable
But the shadow of her face…

Firelight.
