Song Lyrics

Wide-eyed, grinning in the darkened room
Sipping cactus brandy from a China spoon
Coming in the morning and the afternoon
Forgetting
So tired waiting for the end to come
Fully dead already but forever young
Hello my dearest father, it's your favorite son
There's some things that I'm regretting

I am destroyer, I am lover
I am destroyer, I am lover
I love one thing, destroy the other
I am destroyer, I am lover

(Death to death, death to death)

A gypsy told my fortune, and I told her hers
I said, "You'll die in the mountains wrapped in silver furs
You'll be looking for your lover in the midnight sun
And you'll perish for your lover, when the frost has begun"
I have a way of seeing, and it's nearly gone
And nobody was listening, so I wrote this song
And when you know the chorus, you can sing along
You'll destroy the things you love even though you know it's wrong

I am destroyer, I am lover
I am destroyer, I am lover
Why love one thing and not the other?
I am destroyer, I am lover

I am destroyer, I am lover
I am destroyer, I am lover
Why love one thing and not the other?
I am destroyer, I am lover
I am destroyer, I am lover
I am destroyer, I am lover
And when I kiss, I like to smother
I am destroyer, I am lover

(Death to death, death to death)
(Death to death, death to death)
(Death to death)
(Death to death, death to death)
(Death to death)
(Death to death)
