Daggers Drawn
Just beyond the velvet curtain
Of your dark and empty room
All the gutters run with silver
Underneath the light of the moon
I can see you there drawn and pacing
Hiding even from your precious son
All the prophecies say the same thing
Beware of the perilous one
Don't beg for mercy
What's done is done
I'm gonna break this window
I'm gonna fire this gun
If you're halfway human
Your hearts a storm
Now face the morning
With daggers drawn
Bona Dea, what's this feeling?
Nobody will say its name
I have tried all kinds of ancient healing
Still my heart is covered in clay
Well, my sister pass the bottle
Well, my brother pass that flame
Under darkening mountain shadows
We will shout out in the rain
Don't beg for mercy
What's done is done
I'm gonna break this window
I'm gonna fire this gun
If you're halfway human
Your heart's a storm
Now face the morning
With daggers drawn
Daggers drawn
Do you remember those distant mornings?
Nobody there knew my name
I used to call myself a kind of hunter
When you came to me covered in flames
Never questioned what I fight for
It was unchangeable, like the sun
We have always been the lonely nighthawks
Watching out for the perilous one
Don't beg for mercy
What's done is done
I'm gonna break that window
I'm gonna fire this gun
If you're halfway human
Your heart's a storm
Now face the morning
With daggers drawn
Don't beg
Don't beg
Don't beg
If you're halfway human
Your heart's a storm
Now face the morning
With daggers drawn
With daggers drawn
Daggers drawn
Of your dark and empty room
All the gutters run with silver
Underneath the light of the moon
I can see you there drawn and pacing
Hiding even from your precious son
All the prophecies say the same thing
Beware of the perilous one
Don't beg for mercy
What's done is done
I'm gonna break this window
I'm gonna fire this gun
If you're halfway human
Your hearts a storm
Now face the morning
With daggers drawn
Bona Dea, what's this feeling?
Nobody will say its name
I have tried all kinds of ancient healing
Still my heart is covered in clay
Well, my sister pass the bottle
Well, my brother pass that flame
Under darkening mountain shadows
We will shout out in the rain
Don't beg for mercy
What's done is done
I'm gonna break this window
I'm gonna fire this gun
If you're halfway human
Your heart's a storm
Now face the morning
With daggers drawn
Daggers drawn
Do you remember those distant mornings?
Nobody there knew my name
I used to call myself a kind of hunter
When you came to me covered in flames
Never questioned what I fight for
It was unchangeable, like the sun
We have always been the lonely nighthawks
Watching out for the perilous one
Don't beg for mercy
What's done is done
I'm gonna break that window
I'm gonna fire this gun
If you're halfway human
Your heart's a storm
Now face the morning
With daggers drawn
Don't beg
Don't beg
Don't beg
If you're halfway human
Your heart's a storm
Now face the morning
With daggers drawn
With daggers drawn
Daggers drawn
