Hollow Saints

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I walked through ash and gold With your name in my coat The market bells were cracked And the river ran black You wore that silver ring Like a promise I could keep But your eyes were winter glass And your smile cut deep [Pre-Chorus] Tell me, tell me now Who sold you out? Tell me, tell me now What are you about? [Chorus] Hollow saints, hollow saints We were broken, still we sang (hollow saints) Hollow saints, hollow saints Bleeding mercy from our hands (hollow saints) [Verse 2] At the edge of the woods Where the thorn-crown grows I found your little shrine Made of bones and smoke Candles in the mud Moonlight on your face You prayed with a thief's soft voice Then you vanished without a trace [Pre-Chorus] Tell me, tell me now Who sold you out? Tell me, tell me now What are you about? [Chorus] Hollow saints, hollow saints We were broken, still we sang (hollow saints) Hollow saints, hollow saints Bleeding mercy from our hands (hollow saints) [Bridge] If the sky comes down Let it call our names We were made of glass We were made for flames No more borrowed halos No more perfect lies I'll wear my ruin proud When I look you in the eyes [Final Chorus] Hollow saints, hollow saints We were broken, still we sang (hollow saints) Hollow saints, hollow saints Bleeding mercy from our hands (hollow saints) Hollow saints, hollow saints Let the whole dark know our name (hollow saints)
