Lyrics

[Verse 1]
See how she smiles with blood in her teeth
A small sacrifice or a grand offering
Morning unveils a porcelain plate
What will suffice to serve the day?
[Chorus]
But what were those wings from the branches above?
Oh, who then shall suffer to spare the dove?
Spare the dove
[Verse 2]
Sweet were the lies to tender the bruise
If I am unworthy, how can it be true?
What use are the words without any voice?
What of the trial, what of the choice?
[Chorus]
If unholy the heart, oh, what then is the love?
I'll choke on my song, so spare the dove
Spare the dove, spare the dove
[Verse 3]
Sharpen my shadow at the foot of the feeling
I must have more to offer than kneeling
My wish is the whispers, they won't bruise the meaning
Meaning
[Chorus]
Now naked, the night, the moon has come back
Fully exposed, less a bite and a half
[Chorus]
But what can be whole? Tell me, what is enough?
Oh, evening is starving, so why spare the dove?
Why spare the dove?
Why spare the dove?
Oh-oh-oh
