MasoKnight Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Lyrics, anyone? As anyone that knows me can attest, I'm the worst person in the world at deciphering lyrics. I've got the opening lines to Violet Hill, but when the guitar really kicks in, it's tough. Thanks. P.S. The song is awesome. The first listen reminded me of Phil Collins, strangely enough. And it's cool that (I'm pretty sure) there's a line from Bucket for a Crown in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knotty Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 It's definitely: "Priests clutched onto bibles Hollowed out to fit their rifles" That is definitely, 100%, what he sings. It's also one of the best lines I've ever seen in any song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingtoseehere Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 It's definitely rifles. Rifles is a type of gun. Like a shotgun... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greeneyes1207 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 here's what I've pieced together from everyone's posts... Was a long and dark December From the rooftops I remember There was snow White snow Clearly I remember From the windows they were watching While we froze down below When the future's architectured By a carnival of idiots on show You'd better lie low If you love me Won't you let me know? Was a long and dark December When the banks became cathedrals And the fog Became God Priests clutched onto bibles Hollowed out to fit their rifles And the cross was held aloft Bury me in honor When I’m dead and hit the ground A love wrapped poem unfolds If you love me Won't you let me know? I don't want to be a soldier With the captain of some sinking ship With snow, far below If you love me Why'd you let me go? I took my love down to Violet Hill There we sat in snow All that time she was silent still So if you love me Won't you let me know? If you love me, Won't you let me know? and yes I love your new sig& avi!! awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomescobar Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Just registered to correct one line.. after Bury me in honor When I’m dead and hit the ground.. The following line is "My love is opposed when unfold". Checked plenty of times.. Hope you correct it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
