7 - Devil’s Love

Oh gods, they called your name out loud All you sent was an empty crowd The storms made peace with the sky above And kissed the ground for the devil&love Red skies at morning... Sailors take warning... Red skies at night Used to mean all right But nothing&right tonight They spread the colours out like a crucifixion Hearing a kind word here is pure addiction They trample joy down to the muddy deep It makes the metronome weep From d-d-d-d-devil&love There ain&no war here, there never was a fight Just a rusty knight who drank the night The visor drags — a pretty, hollow sound But your pistol&full of dust... six feet underground Once again the horizon&dressed in bleeding red They run a comb right through the wild flowerbed From the poplars standing tall, from the birches on the edge They will rise and break a promise... just to fly right off the ledge Someone&mother bending, breaking at the knees All those years of tender nothing, pretty little sermons from a gun Me? I&sitting in a cage, taking what I please And I&burned through another pack... right before your eyes They spread the colours out like a crucifixion Hearing a kind word here is pure addiction They trample joy down to the muddy deep It makes the metronome weep From d-d-d-d-devil&love There ain&no war here, there never was a fight Just a rusty knight who drank the night The visor drags — a pretty, hollow sound But your pistol&full of dust... six feet underground All it takes is one small smile... the sun breaks...
