"Byzantium" lyrics

"Byzantium"

This time it was your fault
Don't lay the trip on me
We're sailing to Byzantium
Out across a shiftless sea

All that you say you're not
Slave to all you've got
Sad to hear you lie
Worse to believe it

A second from infinity and
Heaven hangs above our heads
One thought from oblivious and
You forget what you just said

All that you say you're not
Slave to all you've got
Sad to hear you lie
Worse to believe it

Sella, leave us nothing
Undine, never leave the sea
I would be a bridge to both
Blister, patch, and peel

All that you say you're not
Slave to all you've got
Sad to hear you lie
Worse to believe it
