The Cat Empire - Daggers Drawn lyrics

Just beyond the velvet curtain Of your dark and empty room All the gutters run with silver Underneath the light of the moon I can see you there drawn and pacing Hiding even from your precious son All the prophecies they say the same thing Beware of the perilous one Don't beg for mercy What's done is done I'm gonna break this window I'm gonna fire this gun If you're halfway human Your heart's a storm Now face the morning With daggers drawn Bona Dea what's this feeling Nobody will say its name I have tried all kinds of ancient healing Still my heart is covered in clay Well my sister pa** that bottle Well my brother pa** that flame Under the darkening mountain shadows We will shout out into the rain Don't beg for mercy What's done is done I'm gonna break this window I'm gonna fire this gun If you're halfway human Your heart's a storm Now face the morning With daggers drawn Do you remember those distant mornings Nobody there knew my name I used to call myself a kind of hunter When you came to me covered in flames Never questioned what I fight for It was unchangeable, like the sun We have always been the lonely nighthawks Watching out for the perilous one Don't beg for mercy What's done is done I'm gonna break that window I'm gonna fire this gun If you're halfway human Your heart's a storm Now face the morning With daggers drawn Don't beg, don't beg, don't beg If you're halfway human Your heart's a storm Now face the morning With daggers drawn Daggers drawn
