Sanctify

Irons on the altar

New chains, Same cage, Always a

Mother or a daughter

Good grace, Gives way To red rage

They crave the rose, Curse the thorns

Cry for love, Show of force

Kill the thing

They adore

Yah yah yah yah yah yah

Every night they were burning her down

Golden the ashes they cover the ground

Never dared to raise her high

Sainted in the afterlife

Sanctify me, Strike and light me

Flames behind me Burn me down

Sanctify me, Strike and light me

Braid the ivy, braid the ivy

Round my crown

Holier than holy

Painting my grief in gold leaf

Hold power like an offering When I reach for it

Put it to my lips You take it from me

Crave the rose

Curse the thorns

Cry for love

Show of force

Kill the thing

They adore

Yah yah yah yah yah yah

Every night they were burning her down

Golden the ashes they cover the ground

Never dared to raise her high

Sainted in the afterlife

Sanctify me, Strike and light me

Flames behind me Burn me down

Sanctify me, Strike and light me

Braid the ivy, braid the ivy

Round my crown

Sanctify me, Strike and light me

Flames behind me Burn me down

Sanctify me, Strike and light me

Braid the ivy, Round my crown

Every night they were burning her down

Golden the ashes they cover the ground
