Let me ask you

If I die for you, would you die for me?

What do the cards say on this cold, dank day?

I’ve spread the deck so many times

I’ve watched the lamps burn bright

I’ve spread the deck so many times

I’ve seen their insight

All the signs told me all this time, all this time

The kings sworn men make perfect liars

She sleeps with bones beside her

They found her body in a nest of vipers

How many miles to Babylon I’ve been back and around the sun

Riding in the hands of gods, to spill the wine and worship the dogs

I’ve spread the deck out so many times

I’ve watched the lamps burn bright

All the signs told me, this time

The kings sworn men make perfect liars

They found her body in a nest of vipers

She sleeps with bones beside her

They found her body in a nest of vipers

In a nest of vipers

Heir to the throne

Wings spread spitting fire

Heavy is the crown

That weighs down the desire

Heir to the throne

Wings spread spitting fire

Heavy is the crown

That weighs down the desire

If I die for you would you die for me?

The kings sworn men make perfect liars

(If I die for you would you die for me?)

They found her body in a nest of vipers

(If I die for you would you die for)

She sleeps with bones beside her

(If I die for you would you die for me?)

They found her body in a nest of vipers

In a nest of vipers

If I die for you

Would you die for me
