Like Moths to Flame
by Thrice

Album: Vheissu

Once again these bitter herbs
The perfect compliment to all your cryptic words
I nod but don't know what to say
But I know you and I believe you're who you say you are

So I
I will follow you
Lay down my life
I would die for you
This very night

Once again the bread and wine
But it seems the meanings may be deeper still this time
You surprised me when you said I'd fall away
Don't you know me? I could never be ashamed of you

No I
I will follow you
Lay down my life
I would die for you
This very night

I've never been this cold
The fire's gravity compels
Like planets cling to Sol
I feel my orbit start to fail

Like moths to flame I come
Too close and all my oaths are burned
As stars begin to run
All my accusers take their turn

And calling curses down
From my lips lies, like poison, spill
And then that awful sound
The sound of prophecy fulfilled

And then I met your eyes
As I remember everything
And something in me dies
The night that I betrayed my King.
