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 honor   When Im dead and hit the ground   My nerves are poles thatn unfroze      If you love me   Won't you let me know?      I don't want to be a soldier   Who the captain of some sinking ship   Would stow, far below      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?
