[Verse 1]
I’m burning like an effigy in here:
The summer’s come to haunt me
And I know I’m not the sacrificial deer
But I wish you could’ve warned me

[Chorus]
Of the Phrygian Lion
With his excellent eyesight
At the gate of our love

[Verse 2]
I understood the chemistry of peace;
You covered me in warpaint
When Moses was a whisper in the reeds
I carved you in the floodplain

[Chorus]
Of the Phrygian Lion
With his excellent eyesight
At the gate of our love

[Verse 3]
Under sweet autumnal skins is our myth dispelled
In your strange and simple way

[Chorus 3x]
Of the Phrygian Lion
With his excellent eyesight
At the gate of our love

Of the Phrygian Lion
With his excellent eyesight
At the gate of our love

Of the Phrygian Lion
With his excellent eyesight
At the gate of our love
