Lyrics

[Verse 1]

So, we were up

Throwing dice in the dark

I saw you late last night, come to harm

I saw you dance in the devil's arms

[Verse 2]

The night kept coming

Really nothing I could do

Eyes with fire, unquenched, by peace

Curse the beauty, curse the queen

[Verse 3]

Se we come to a place of no return

Yours is the face, that makes my body burn

And here is the name that our sons will learn

Curse the beauty, curse the queen

Curse the beauty, leave me

[Verse 4]

So, when you're weak

When you are on your knees

I'll do my best with the time that's left

Sworn with your spirit, you're fully fleshed

[Verse 5]

So, fuck your dreams

And don't you pick at our seams

I'll turn into a monster for you, if you pay me enough

None of this counts, if you do, cloud up

[Verse 6]

So we come to a place of no return

Yours is the face which makes my body burn

And here is the name that our sons will learn

Curse the beauty, curse the queen

Curse the beauty, leave me
