Was a long and dark December 
From the rooftops i remember 
There was snow 
White snow 

Clearly i remember 
From the windows they were watching 
While we froze down below 

When the future's architectured 
By a carnival of idiots on show 
You'd better lie low 

If you love me 
Won't you let me know? 

Was a long and dark December 
When the banks became cathedrals 
And the fog 
Became God 

Priests clutched onto bibles 
hollowed out to fit their rifles 
And the cross was held aloft 

Bury me in armour 
When i'm dead and hit the ground 
love back home unfolds 

If you love me 
Won't you let me know? 

I don't want to be a soldier 
when the captain of some sinking ship 
would stow, far below 

So if you love me 
Why'd you let me go? 

I took my love down to violet hill 
There we sat in snow 
All that time she was silent still 

So if you love me 
Won't you let me know? 

If you love me, 
Won't you let me know?
