lyrics

If I screwed you on the wall you’d be OK
Though you never ever knew me this way
And there are pictures on that wall of your favorite place
Though I do think you believe me this day
You could have it all with that big hallow fang
And though the space between these eyebrows could change
And when the needs are equal to desire the space is invaded with fire
We could not know the difference we’ll play
You’re a creature of the earth why don’t you crawl
The sky is made for birds hear it in the dirt
Creatures of the earth hear what we are
Some give up their blood
Some are chosen ones
Promise truly lies are hard but could be all here alive in dark
Bearer of light spirit of air truth is never what you hear
Spawn of the abyss make thy presence manifest
From the sixth tower comes a sign
A messenger of delight
You’re a creature of the earth why don’t you crawl
The sky is made for birds hear it in the dirt
Creatures of the earth hear what we are
Some give up their blood
Some are chosen ones
There are times I open doors
Don’t leave the light on
To be the one giving angels what they know
Just like holy Rome
Just like holy Rome
Now you could have it all with that big hollow fang
But the space between these eyebrows could change
And though the needs are equal to desire
The space is invaded with fire
We could not know the difference of day
You’re a creature of the earth why don’t you crawl
The sky is made for birds hear it in the dirt
Creatures of the earth hear what we are
Some give up their blood
Some are chosen ones
