Текст песни
Candles bleeding on the marble
Wax like rivers at your feet
Incense curling up my questions
Every breath a little plea
Kiss of ashes on my forehead
Bitter taste I want again
All these vows cut into velvet
Every sin spells out your name
My hands folded
But my pulse betrays me
Eyes to heaven
While I dream you take me
Litany of your name on my tongue
Every whispered syllable comes undone
I am kneeling
But my thoughts misbehave
Turn this hunger to a holy flame
If it's blasphemy
Then let me stay
Drowning
Drowning in the words I pray
Litany of your name on my tongue
Till devotion and desire are one
Silver chalice
Trembling fingers
Sip of guilt that burns so sweet
Angel statues watch me falter
Stone and silence judge my need
You are carved into my curses
You are carved into my spine
If I'm damned to keep you secret
Let me worship you in lies
Be my temple
Be my fall from grace
Every hallelujah
Written on your face
Litany of your name on my tongue
Every whispered syllable comes undone
I am kneeling
But my thoughts misbehave
Turn this hunger to a holy flame
If it's blasphemy
Then let me stay
Drowning
Drowning in the words I pray
Litany of your name on my tongue
Till devotion and desire are one
Tell me
Is this love a curse or a crown? oh
If I rise to you
Will heaven strike me down?
Tie my heart up in your rosary of scars
I'll confess you in the dark
Where the wild saints are
Litany of your name on my tongue
Every whispered syllable comes undone
I am kneeling
But my thoughts misbehave
Turn this hunger to a holy flame
If it's blasphemy
Then let me stay
Drowning
Drowning in the words I pray
Litany of your name on my tongue
Till devotion and desire are one
