Verse 1:
Dbm
Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember

If you love me, won’t you let me know?
Verse 2:

Hollowed out to fit their rifles

And the cross was held aloft

Bury me an armour

When I’m dead and hit the ground

My nerves are poles that unfroze

If you love me, won’t you let me know?

Who the captain of some sinking ship
