Lyrics

Head on a Platter

Lovers meet in the ground

I'll see you there

Gold haired, wearing your white dress

We make gods of what we want

Now you're my god

What's not to love about a saviour?

Phantom ascending

Love is a reckoning

Mind over matter

Head on a platter

Rewild, rewild your heart

Cruising the plain, searing the vein

Burning up in blue flame

How the hell do I break the spell?

When hell is how we found out

All about our saviour

Phantom ascending

Love is a reckoning

Quick baby, the dagger

Head on a platter

Phantom ascending

Love is a reckoning

Phantom ascending

Love is a reckoning
