lyrics

Sunrise, sunset- by the light of the moon our eyes connect…and like, she said, seven years is not too long to forget. Green eyes, they are deep set, the stare that she gives could break my neck….and so I hold the ground beneath me, and try to forget her name, for it is built on lies. Go where the sinners play and the saints go to die. The beautiful ones they always go down in flames; the damned are the ones who must watch them fall at the Gates.

Black hair, it runs thin, the immaculate change from a boy to a man. And so she fails to draw conclusions, and she tries to forget his name, for it is built on lies. Go where the sinners play and the saints go to die. The beautiful ones they always go down in flames; the damned are the ones who must watch them fall at the Gates.

The beautiful and the damned return to seal away their sorrows- the beautiful and the damned, return again until the end of time. The beautiful and damned, they can’t remember how it started. So arrest their souls, arrest their souls, and pray they can’t remember why.

Forget their names, for they are built on lies. Go where the sinners play and the saints go to die. The beautiful ones they always go down in flames; the damned are the ones who must watch them fall at the Gates.
