4:33Wings of desire have been burnt black with fire And the day is dark Gods have been broken, and hearts have been opened to show who we are Friends in a shell who have deadened themselves without meaning to Twain, he was right, it's the size of the fight in the dog And in you Oh, Seraphina Have you come to free us From the grief we share with love, love, love? Build something beautiful, and small minds will turn on The wrecking ball Fly to the Moon in a row boat And they'll cheer your fall Dancing like narcissists trapped in a carnival's looking glass Smash it all up, seven years of bad luck will disappear into the past Oh, Seraphina Have you come to free us From the grief we share with love, love, love? Oh, Seraphina Please don't deceive us For we dream a little too much Darling, can't you see that I've been lost for a very long time I need you now to shake me awake, and drag me into the light Wings of desire have been burnt black with fire And the day's not dark Laws have been broken, and hearts have been taken to task Friends who have gone, who've shone far too brightly, are waiting there All we can do is condemn ourselves to all the truths we swear Oh, Seraphina Have you come to free us From the grief that we share with love, love, love? Oh, Seraphina Please don't deceive us For we dream a little too much Oh, Seraphina Oh, Seraphina
