Lyrics

Ghosts Over Calvary

The moon hangs over gallows
Your breathing is shallow
Under the midnight pouring rain
Black magic in silence
A kiss in defiance
A violence of just speaking your name
In the wood by the churchyard
We run with the devil
The steeple looks down on us in vain
Despair and desire
Thrown into the fire
The secret of our tragedy
Give into me

'Cause I got evil
Running through my veins
Hurt me
But I don't feel the pain

Crash-bounded in roses
Removing your clothes
As I'm pressing my lips against your lips
The angels are falling
The choir is calling
Heaven could never taste like this
The candles are burning
Familiar yearning
Young and in love but damned and doomed
Lost in the darkness
They're coming close
Guess I was born to die with you
Give into me

'Cause I got evil
Running through my veins
Hurt me
But I don't feel the pain
Evil
Running through my veins
Hurt me
But I don't feel the pain

So take my hand in the darkness
To embrace the night as it falls
Heaven welcomes you and me, love
Because all the prettiest boys and girls flirt with death
'Cause I got evil

'Cause I got evil
Running through my veins
Hurt me
But I don't feel the pain (I don't feel the pain)
Evil
Running through my veins (running through my veins)
Hurt me
But I don't feel the pain (I don't feel the pain)
