[Verse 1]

It was a long and dark December

From the rooftops, I remember

There was snow, white snow

Clearly I remember

From the windows, they were watchin'

While we froze down below

When the future's architectured

By a carnival of idiots on show

You'd better lie low

[Chorus]

If you love me

Won't you let me know?

[Verse 2]

Was a long and dark December

When the banks became cathedrals

And the fox became God

Priests clutched onto Bibles

Hollowed out to fit their rifles

And a cross was held aloft

Bury me in armour

When I'm dead and hit the ground

My nerves are poles that unfroze

[Chorus]

And if you love me

Won't you let me know?

[Interlude]

Woah, woah

[Bridge]

I don't wanna be a soldier

Who the captain of some sinking ship

Would stow far below

[Chorus]

So if you love me

Why'd you let me go?

[Outro]

I took my love down to Violet Hill

There we sat in snow

All that time she was silent still

So if you love me

Won't you let me know?

If you love me

Won't you let me know?
