VIRTUE

Temptation hides

In the space between

Lord help me fight

This desire for fire

Words can cleanse and purify

Or tear down a pack of lies

In your presence consequence

I can't stop trembling

 

For all of my virtue

Why can I not hold the truth?

For all my good fortune

I would change my place with you

This path will lead us back

Will lead us back to ruin

For all of my virtue

Why can I not hold the truth?

 

This path will lead us back

Will lead us back to ruin

For all of my virtue

Why can I not hold the truth?

 

Once in a while

The urge resurfaces

So we split hairs

As rumours circulate

And there's a need to fertilise

Behind my lover's trusting eye

Like water drops on burning rocks

I can't stop trembling

 

For all of my virtue

Why can I not hold the truth?

For all my good fortune

I would change my place with you

This path will lead us back

Will lead us back to ruin

For all of my virtue

Why can I not hold the truth?

 

I've fallen, I've fallen again

I've fallen, I've fallen again

I've fallen, I've fallen again

I've fallen
