Hozier - Hymn To Virgil Lyrics

Hozier Lyrics

"Hymn To Virgil"

If I held in my hands everything gold could buy
I'd still not have a thing worth giving you
You tell me the sun is shining in paradise
And I have to watch your lips turn blue

I would burn the world to bring some heat to you
I would burn the world to bring some heat to you
I would burn the world to bring some heat

You are the reason I went through it
The only meaning as I knew it
And I can only do my best
I do not do this for myself
I'd walk through hell on living feet for you

I wouldn't be seen walking through any door
Some place that you're not welcome to
You stare at the faces smiling from somewhere warm
From some place the sunlight won't come through

I would burn the world to bring some heat to you
I would burn the world to bring some heat to you
I would burn the world to bring some heat

You are the reason I went through it
The only meaning as I knew it
I can only do my best
I do not do this for myself
I'd walk through hell on living feet for you

I would burn the world to bring some heat to you
I would burn the world to bring some heat to you
I would burn the world to bring some heat
