fight - gretna greene lyrics
[halford/tilse/chaussee]
a purple bruise,
a fractured limb,
all covered up with lies.
a swollen face,
a bl–dy tongue,
this violence denied.
empty now and meaningless,
ridiculed in shame,
until death do us apart,
who should take the blame?
to live a lie
forgive or die.
a stricken look,
a lowered head,
reflections, turning back.
a trembling hand,
a quickened step,
the dreaded, next attack.
turning from the holy ghost,
light and spirit fade.
waiting for deliverance,
every thing betrayed.
to live a lie
forgive or die.
a vacant stare,
a beat-up faith,
the book of truth reviled.
a prayer to god,
a plea for help,
held ransom with the child.
wide awake and holding tears,
fear that never sleeps,
curled up in the bed at night,
the virgin gently weeps.
to live a lie
forgive or die
