Destroying Angels lyrics

The day was nearly over

They were hosing down the house

They caught sight of her poor body

In the rushes and the mud

She lay where she had fallen

They had hunted high and low

The winter had come early

And she had been covered up by snow

It took an hour to cut her

From the spot where she was found

A bright red velvet ribbon

Was tangled in her gown

Her skin was icy white

Her veins were thin and blue

There was black ink on her fingers

And blood on her toes and her shoes

Bees made honey upon her lips

Lips I've waited so long to kiss

She seemed so pure without a doubt

'Til the last red drop bled out

Destroying angels

I knew you so well

Destroying angels

No lies will you tell

No lies will you tell

Some things they are so painful

No words for them exist

And everyone was solemn

As they laid her in the dirt

I stood trembling by her graveside

With everybody else

My sins and all my secrets burn

Like [?] inside my chest

I could tell you that I loved you more

Than I ever loved myself

I could swear I'd never harm a hair

Upon her lovely head

But I stole her savage beauty

She will never lie again

I stuffed her full of death caps

And it killed my angel dead

Bees made honey upon her lips

Lips I've waited so long to kiss

She seemed so pure without a doubt

'Til the last red drop bled out

Destroying angels

I knew you so well

Destroying angels

No lies will you tell

No lies will you tell

Destroying angels

I knew you so well

Destroying angels

No lies will you tell

No lies will you tell

No more lies

No more lies

No more lies
