Hylas and the Water Nymphs
Lot's wife looks over her shoulder
And finds there's nothing left to see
Ruins were once a city
Pilars of salt were once a body
Hylas in the garden
With his loving water nymphs
Their pretty hands all pulling him
Into the murky depths
Hylas cries out for you
Lips bruised black and blue
"Leave me and trust I'm loved"
Written in salt and blood
Shame and absolution
Only live inside your head
Bastards and bishops
Go on living till they're dead
Slouching off towards Bethlehem
The road is lined with cinders
Paved alike by righteous men
And unrepentant sinners
Hylas cries out for you
Lips bruised black and blue
"Leave me, baby! Trust I'm loved"
Written in salt and blood
Hylas cries out for you
Lips bruised black and blue
"Leave me, baby! Trust I'm loved"
Written in salt and blood
Hylas cries out for you
Lips bruised black and blue
"Leave me, baby! Trust I'm loved"
Written in salt and blood
And finds there's nothing left to see
Ruins were once a city
Pilars of salt were once a body
Hylas in the garden
With his loving water nymphs
Their pretty hands all pulling him
Into the murky depths
Hylas cries out for you
Lips bruised black and blue
"Leave me and trust I'm loved"
Written in salt and blood
Shame and absolution
Only live inside your head
Bastards and bishops
Go on living till they're dead
Slouching off towards Bethlehem
The road is lined with cinders
Paved alike by righteous men
And unrepentant sinners
Hylas cries out for you
Lips bruised black and blue
"Leave me, baby! Trust I'm loved"
Written in salt and blood
Hylas cries out for you
Lips bruised black and blue
"Leave me, baby! Trust I'm loved"
Written in salt and blood
Hylas cries out for you
Lips bruised black and blue
"Leave me, baby! Trust I'm loved"
Written in salt and blood
