[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
