[Verse 1: Chris Romans]
With black eyes of holocaust
The fire is bathed in sun blood
Rising from the cradle of civilization
To reign with a punishing love
With white eyes of holocaust
I surrender all holy blood
In the most surreal cathedral
I was transfixed by an effigy of Christ
But then it bled
Think of the rivers of blood
[Verse 2: Chris Romans]
With black eyes of holocaust
I stare into the putrid dark
It's so quiet without my thoughts
Naked I fall into your body
With red eyes of holocaust
I surrender my holy blood
In exchange for the serenity you give
The hangman in the public square
But then he suffocates
His mouth a tributary for all the rivers of blood
[Outro: Chris Romans]
It's intoxicating
To think that our love could have been more
Than little shadows flailing in the wind
