lyrics

Let’s kill the ones we love
Let’s put them in the ground
So they can never hurt us
They can never let us down

Let’s make martyrs of our lovers
Oh they look so good in black
And I’ll wear the veil forever
I was never one for tact

We’ll sing Nick Cave at the coffin side
"Death Is Not The End"
Throw parties of remembrance
For our late departed friends

Who never cut us never made us bleed
Metaphorically or not
Who never cheated never had the chance
Faithful as they rot

And we’ll tenderly tend the grave sides
I’ll grow roses for you love
And I’ll will the day until i die
And join you in the mud

Let's make martyrs of our lovers
Paint their likeness on the walls
Gold foil halos glinting
In the moonlight, in the sun

Light a candle for each darling
You have buried 6 feet down
You could light up a cathedral
Or burn one to the ground

Lets kill the ones we love
Before they kill us first
With their anger, with their shame
With their lust with their thirst

Let's bury all our lovers
How beautiful they lie
What an honour tis to love so pure, for
To be loved to is to die
