[Verse 1]
All shapes and colours
Rolled in stained and ageing hands
Sculpted explosions

Histories unfold
Our Jackson Pollocked earth turns
A silent witness

[Verse 2]
Lonely asylumed
Poets bequeath best attempts
Romanticising

The brutality
Of the ages and of us
Avarice and lust

[Chorus]
Love and death and death and love
Brutal romance
A silver thread, a sharpened knife
A spinning slow dance
I can’t remember before
Warm in the veins
Lead in the core
Brutal romance
[Verse 3]
You're dripping with gold
Mine is more interior
Yours is sinking you

Men at attention
Devouring a drowning fleet
Epaulettes of charm

[Chorus]
Love and death and death and love
Brutal romance
A silver thread, a sharpened knife
In a spinning slow dance
I can’t remember before
Breath in the lungs
Blood on the door
Brutal romance

[Bridge]
And I want to sing over them and into them what can’t be unsung
And I want to sing over you and into you what can’t be unsung

[Chorus]
Love and death and death and love
Brutal romance
A silver thread, a sharpened knife
A spinning slow dance
I can’t remember before
Washing of wounds
Won inner wars
Brutal romance
