Moonchild
Fields Of The Nephilim · The Nephilim [2011]
Burn all of my young
A righteous flame burn all of my young
Take the horses - let them crawl,
Put them in their cages
(That's righteous for the soul...)
Open your eyes, despite what's deemed
Longevity - that's righteous for the weak
Moonchild
Lower me down, lower me down
Well, it's a righteous day for all of my young
(I'll give your life some pain)
It's a righteous day
Never return, no I'll wait no more
Take no prisoners in the promised war
You'll die for this, die for this... take them!
Moonchild
Lower me down, lower me down
Here count your silver pieces
Can't you see, you're losing me
Moonchild
Lower me down, lower me down
Revisit to an empty hall
You can't seal being burned before
Will they tear you down, can I bear your shame?
Longevity, hear my fame
Moonchild
Lower me down
And I'm waiting
And a white moon falls... a black moon calls
Waiting to divide the world
Moonchild
Lower me down
Longevity - I knelt down where I burnt before
And I don't regret
Down! Down! Down!
