Guillotine Lovers – goodnight lavender Lyrics
I swore I'd find you even if I had to die
And crossed the border with a bullet in my eye
I wear her locket like a noose around my throat
A priest once warned me that there is no room for hope
She sealed her letter with a kiss and cyanide
I traced her words and felt the fever bloom inside
They built a gallows in the garden where she lay
I sworе I'd burn it all if she can't wait for me
Well, comе on!
The saints are laughing in the faces of our youth
They bless their bullets and they sanctify the truth
There are no heroes and the only way is through
So take the shot before they aim their cross at you
The workers gathered with their stakes and rosaries
She whispered curses through her teeth so they would bleed
They sealed her coffin deep within the ministry
But I once swore I'd bring the bastards to their knees
The choir chokes as I kick down the chapel door
I’m not a man, I’m just revenge in uniform
He took her hand, I took the blade behind my back
You want a witness? Watch me paint this altar black
I kissed a ghost beneath the chapel bell
It carved our names into the gates of hell
There's been a murder at Estelle Motel
I hope this letter never finds you well
