Song Lyrics

Black eyes bright in the years spent against
Solemn and true
Ecstasies you'll taste when you're dead
A decadent dread

Your heroes have only torn themselves down
The powers that are are unafraid now
Discipline won't make your body your own
She wants what you won't

So come in the violet hour and see me again
Your thick skin is aflame in January wind
I am nothing you want your true love to be
But in the violet hours you'll still run to me

The old complaint painted over again
But the wound still remains

Your heroes have grown indifferent and wan
The powers that are are more powerful now
You're chained to the mast as the waves rush round
You'll drown if you must

So come in the violet hour and see me again
Your thick skin is worn, your spirit unbent
I am all that you want to leave in defeat
In the violet hours you'll still run to me

In the violet hours, you'll lie down with me

Kip Berman
