They are beaten
You'd feel danger there
(repeats throughout)
Through the edged are beaten
You'd feel danger there
(whispered)
How heavy you are on this faded hatch
Tinderbox of a heart left a shell is all
How heavy you are on this faded hatch
Tinderbox of a heart left a shell is all
(x2)
Bleed in your fate's ground through the edge
It's so bloody and blunt of big crystal eyes
How heavy you are; it's fading your hatch
Tinderbox of a heart left a shell is all
(x2)
