Forty Thieves lyrics

Oh, my body is toxic

and now there’s visitors living in my veins yet

I’m just a host in their selfish games.

Well... oh God, where are you now?

I thought you loved us all the same.

I was up, looking for you all night.

I’m sure I heard your voice in the darkness.

I was up, looking for you all night

'cause you know you are the fortress I am bound to.

Oh, I was shattered when I found you

and all your skin was white.

There were crystal lines running

between your lips and down through your spine.

There was... nothing in your eyes that I could recognise.

For the pain you left, I hope you made it there.

I was up, looking for you all night.

I’m sure I heard your voice in the darkness.

I was up, looking for you all night

'cause you know you are the fortress I am bound to.

It’s funny how the simplest things

are often the hardest,

but all I ever wanted was to love you.

(Love... love... love...)

(Love... love... love...)

I was up, looking for you all night.

I’m sure I heard your voice in the darkness.

I was up, looking for you all night

'cause you know you are the fortress I am bound to.
