TEARS AND RAIN

Sol Invictus / Wakeford

Never care for when you do, you'll wear the chains and follow the rules
Of love's dark game, of love's dark game - of tears and rain
Cut out your heart and throw it to the dogs, better this than to face the loss
In love's dark game, in love's dark game - of tears and rain
Her voice cuts my throat with a knife, her words crush my soul in a vice
In love's dark game, in love's dark game - of tears and rain
I will lock the windows and the doors, put out the light and feel no more...
THEN HE KILLED HER
I saw a maiden by the riverside
Waiting for her lover to come by
She dressed her hair with a golden comb
Love it seemed had gained the throne
Then he killed her - struck once, then twice
Then he killed her with his knife
From stately mansion to the lowest slum
Love and death beat their drum
Lovers touch and lovers sigh
Lover's part and lovers cry
Chorus
How easily love's wine is spilt
How easily love's vine does wilt
Chorus
