    Lyrics

    Was a long and dark December
    From the rooftops I remember
    There was snow
    White snow

    Clearly I remember
    From the windows they were watching
    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?

    Was a long and dark December
    When the banks became cathedrals
    And the fog
    Became God

    Priests clutched onto bibles
    And went out to fit their rifles
    And the cross was held aloft

    Bury me in honor
    When I'm dead and hit the ground
    A love back home unfolds

    [Chorus]

    I don't want to be a soldier
    With the captain of some sinking ship
    With snow, far below

    So if you love me
    Why'd you let me go?

    I took my love down to violet hill
    There we sat in snow
    All that time she was silent still

    [Chorus: x2]
