"Mythical Creatures" lyrics

In the sudden light it comes to pass
Drawing stars from shadows holding through
Libertine daunted
Now crystal waters flowing on

Perfect imperfections you lay bare
Under promises a thoroughfare of hope
Give in to the underside
Oh my precious, how long did we bleed on?

How long we run?
How long?

Now throw me to the lions
Drown me in the lake
Where all the mythical creatures
Defy and wait

Now these blackened branches
Line along your path
Fold in as it comes at last to pass

To pass
At last to pass

Now throw us to the lions
Drown us in the lake
Where all the mythical creatures
Defy and wait

Higher, higher
Higher, higher
Higher, higher...

Now throw me to the lions
Drown me in the lake
Where all the mythical creatures
Defy and wait

Drown me...
