such is the fragility of life.
          Was a long and dark December 
From the rooftops i remember 
There was snow 
White snow 
 
Clearly I remember 
From the windows they were watching 
While we froze down below 
 
When the future's architectured 
By a carnival of idiots on show 
You'd better lie low 
 
If you love me 
Won't you let me know? 
 
Was a long and dark December 
When the banks became cathedrals 
And the fox 
Became God 
 
Priests clutched onto bibles 
Hollowed out to fit their rifles 
And the cross was held aloft 
 
Bury me in armor 
When I'm dead and hit the ground 
My nerves are poles that unfroze 
 
If you love me 
Won't you let me know? 
I don't want to be a soldier 
That a captain of some sinking ship 
Would stow, far below 
 
So if you love me 
Why'd you let me go? 
 
I took my love down to violet hill 
There we sat in snow 
All that time she was silent still 
 
Said, if you love me 
Won't you let me know? 
 
If you love me, 
Won't you let me know?
