To have, to hold
Is something you
Have feared to know but always knew
Maybe it isn’t even true
Maybe love cannot
Maybe love cannot shelter you
The furies are a triple threat
The worst to come has not come yet
If love is something you can just reject
Beware the touch they won’t forget
Beware the touch of Antoinette
Still through the gash you’ll reach to pull
The bones of someone beautiful
His veins stretched tight over his skull
The lullaby will become a lull
The lullaby will become a lull
It begins again
The feeling that I love and know will end
It begins again
The feeling that I love and know will end
I’ll sing you fast asleep, my love
And all the dreams that you dream of
Will soothe you like a velvet glove
Wrapped around your heart, guarding your blood
Wrapped around your heart, guarding your blood
And when you wake, you won’t recall
How light surrenders to the dark
So the next time that you start to fall
You’ll swear he’s the greatest love of all
And he will redeem the queen of hearts
