lyrics

All night before the world began

Heard the beating wings of insects in a sacred golden dawn
Then we overheard the rumours of a distant holy war
Now on sad and dreaming screens I cannot see you any more
And they’re streaming executions from the street outside your door

But I’m fine, you’re fine - all good this time
Here’s us screaming - keep on breathing

Some kiss the sky and some kiss the sun
Some kiss their bibles then kiss their guns
She kissed the hounds of the chosen one
I kissed the road and the world that turns
And the girl that burns
All night before the world began

If we cannot help the feeling that we've all been here before
In the shadows of our silence we’ll be burning on the shore
Like a psychopathic army we destroy what we desire
We can start a new religion from the writhing in the fire

But I’m fine, you’re fine – all good this time
Keep on streaming - meanwhile breathing

Some kiss the sky and some kiss the sun
Some kiss their bibles then kiss their guns
She kissed the ring of the chosen one
I kissed the road and the world that turns
And the girl as she burns
All night before the world began

Now our love it lies in pieces at the ending of the earth
If this is all we have for answers then the dogs know what it’s worth
You asked your algorithmic saviours what the boys were marching for
By the orders of the prophets now they’re kicking down your door – they said

“You can be my baby”
“Lighter for the lady”
“Silence on the inside”
But the woman brings her own light
Woman brings her own light
All night before the world began
