Virgin Black Lyrics

Album: Unknown

Our Wings Are Burning Lyrics

We fell in love, with dust in our lids

 And the pain of a severed soul

 We lowered our heads and lifted our face

 Placed our bodies in celebration

 On the lips of a mutilated man

 I carry the bones of a deformed child

 And my own polluted breath

 I speak the old man's words

 In a persuasive eloquence

 Bless the dust that hides

 This unlamented head

 On the crest of fire, our wings are burning

 How glorious the pain

 And the ways of God, shriek out of tune

 All is lost but hope

 On the crest of fire

 Our wings are burning

 To the wind's anthem

 All is lost but hope
