Daggers Drawn
THE CAT EMPIRE · Rising With The Sun 2016 · Track 09 of 11
Just beyond the velvet curtain Of your dark and empty room All the gutters run with silver Underneath the light of the moon
I can see you there drawn and pacing Hiding even from your precious son All the prophecies they say the same thing Beware of the perilous one
Don't beg for mercy What's done is done I'm gonna break this window I'm gonna fire this gun If you're halfway human Your heart's a storm Now face the morning With daggers drawn
Bona Dea what's this feeling Nobody will say its name I have tried all kinds of ancient healing Still my heart is covered in clay
Well my sister pass that bottle Well my brother pass that flame Under the darkening mountain shadows We will shout out into the rain
Don't beg for mercy What's done is done I'm gonna break this window I'm gonna fire this gun If you're halfway human Your heart's a storm Now face the morning With daggers drawn
Do you remember those distant mornings Nobody there knew my name I used to call myself a kind of hunter When you came to me covered in flames
Never questioned what I fight for It was unchangeable, like the sun We have always been the lonely nighthawks Watching out for the perilous one
Don't beg for mercy What's done is done I'm gonna break that window I'm gonna fire this gun If you're halfway human Your heart's a storm Now face the morning With daggers drawn
Don't beg, don't beg, don't beg If you're halfway human Your heart's a storm Now face the morning With daggers drawn Daggers drawn
