The Armageddon Waltz

Yeah these explosions kick
The paintings off the walls
Oh this band plays fissures
Through soldiers in the halls
Do you hear the singing
Violas through the guns?
Do you feel your black silk
Crest shockwaves one by one?

Your hip, my hand, sway and
The sirens wail the sound
Heralding the crashing 
Of this heaven to the ground
Oh that last cello glides
Between those bombs so sweet
And every roar is just
A chord beneath our feet

Listen,
Remember when we met
Before our first sunrise
Remember who we were
When this world laid down to die
Listen,
It's a one, two, three
Just one last dance goodbye
Yeah just a one, two, three
While they bring down the sky

God, just one more dance with me
And this earth can fucking break
We'll let these Armageddon angels
Play their waltzes in our wake
Listen, it's a one, two, three
Just one last dance goodbye
Yeah just a one, two, three
While they bring down the sky
Let that old white fire
Roar quiet in your eyes
Underneath that drumming
Of the fire in the sky
Underneath that drumming
While they bring down our sky
