About the Artist
Lyrics
Old friend, they told me you were dead The news broadcast, The funeral 500 channels focus in Your love was Ravished, drawn, and quartered The soil was swift to drink her blood This violence in the name of love! But I still feel you, Despite your tombstone, But I still feel you, Despite your tombstone, So friend you must still walk among us, In places we don't dare to glance I saw you killing Aristotle But I know its all part of the plan. Old friend, they told me you were dead The news broadcast, The funeral 500 channels focus in Your love was Ravished, drawn, and quartered The soil was swift to drink her blood This violence in the name of love! Old friend, they told me you were dead The news broadcast, The funeral 500 channels focus in Your love was Ravished, drawn, and quartered The soil was swift to drink her blood This violence, This violence, This violence in the name of love! To awake and avenge the dead, To awake and avenge the dead, To awake and avenge the dead.
