lyrics

Eastwards! To Les Invalides

Well I know the truth, and it shall be my demise,
It was the Devil who did form this world
He did it with his hands, on the hours of the first morn
He took his purest memories and he burnt them down
He blessed it with the form of the breasts of his first love,
And with the courage of his last love
But all true love was caught amongst the thorns.
And so it is for evermore.

All I'm left with is a whisper
And all I'll leave you is a whisper,
This slight of hand will leave you a disbeliever
The truth is nothing but a whisper

All the crusaders to the last commuter train
From platform ten at Victoria Station in the rain
They all had their tickets stamped by The Divine.
They were promised a straight and peaceful line
As the fire and the brimstone from their bags explored the day
And the insides of them all was painted on the fray
The Archangel sighed then as his watch it had unwound
For when it did, he knew what was going down

All I'm left with is a whisper
I cannot dream beyond a whisper
This slight of hand will leave you a disbeliever
The truth is nothing but a whisper

All I am now is a whisper
And All I'lve done remains a whisper
And all that returns is a whisper's whisperer
And when I’m gone there’ll be no more whisper

The Killing Words London

My mind is an ashtray
Filled with coins-
But an ashtray nonetheless
Dreams of avarice, dreams
of returning to the fold. Dreams
of St. Francis of Assisi- out there all alone
Naked within the wilderness,
vision well-sprung bittersweet
bearing down on the bottom of the barrel-
But dreams of avarice nonetheless.
