Sacred Heart (Sacre Coeur)

Sacred Heart (Sacre Coeur) Lyrics

From the gutter
The diamond seemed far too bright to see
The gleaming eyes always tend to turn away
Just turn away

And every innocent wish, has granted tragedy
And our hands have since been soiled
In the blackest of coal

Most days I'd sit and wish for
This place to fall into the bay
It's greatest offense, being thievery

A nightmare awakened by the boundless waters
Will see a broken vow thrust
Into the arms of hell bound cowards

And I've found the perfect accessory
To that beautiful gown
The handsome ghost of me

Most days I'd sit and wish for
This place to fall into the bay
It's greatest offense, being thievery

And I will wash away the sins
Of former lovers, a trail of stillborn conquest
In my wake tonight

Take this four fingered salute
I gave the fifth for you my dear
May it beckon you to the salts below

Most days I'd sit and wish for
This place to fall into the bay
It's greatest offense, being thievery

And I will wash away the sins
Of former lovers, a trail of stillborn conquest
In my wake tonight
Tonight, tonight
