Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Her penultimate sighs called softly on the kindling wind
Her saintly eyes filling with tears, lifting with truth
And then a golden flash like the onset of Heaven
Leaving her screams, breaking my heart
And in the grip of fire, I knew the death of love
[Verse 2]
Where will you be when they tense for warfare?
What will you see with your innocent stare?
Where will you be, my darling?
Where will you be when they tense for warfare?
[Verse 3]
Where will you be when God is glorifying?
There we will be between the dead and dying
Where will you be, my darling?
Where will you be when God is calling for me?
[Verse 4]
Prophecies of glory forge a massive disdain
For lying passive in the shadows whilst the enemies reign
Devoted to the votive, holy standard above
By command of the king of Heaven came the death of love
[Verse 5]
Where will you be when they're vilifying?
How will they see when the truth is blinding?
Where will you be, my darling?
Where will you be when they're vilifying?
[Verse 6]
Where will you be when the dark is rising?
How will you keep from its terrorizing?
Where will you be, my darling?
Where will you be when the dark is rising?
[Verse 7]
Burning was the sunset like a portent of doom
And the saintly iron maiden as she fell from her wound
[Verse 8]
But visions and ambition never listened to submission
And she was on a mission from the highest above
To lord upon the slaughter like a sword through hissing water
She arose where archers sought her for the death, the death of love
[Verse 9]
The righteous death of love
The righteous death of love
[Verse 10]
Gilles adored her drama, her suit of pure white armor
Blazed against the English in a torrent of light
And as they rallied onto night, a cancer fled his soul dissolving
[Verse 11]
Frame amidst the thick of fire, aflame, a Valkyrie
She made him click without desire
And in his eyes she swam a goddess
[Verse 12]
And even when they caught her breath, her words would leave a scar
For only in the grip of darkness, will we shine amidst the brightest stars
[Verse 13]
How will you breathe when the wheels are turning?
How will you know if the sky is burning?
Where will you be, my darling?
How will you breathe when the wheels are turning?
[Verse 14]
Where will you be when Babel builds my fire?
Will you not flee and label me pariah?
Where will you be, my darling?
Where will you be when they light my pyre?
[Verse 15]
Aligned with Joan in all that was enthroned and divine
He swore to score the crimes Jackdaws poured on this dove
Crimes he knew alone derived from minds of the blind
The church unfurled for murder perched upon the death of love
[Verse 16]
Frame amidst the thick of fire, aflame, a Valkyrie
She claimed the sky was lit with spires
And in his eyes she swam a goddess
[Verse 17]
And even when she fought for breath, her words would leave a scar
For only in the grip of darkness, will we shine amidst the brightest stars
