Likening Love To War Lyrics

Lyrics to Likening Love To War
They can't save him
He must atone
In silence now and alone
Whoever said they loved you
Perpetual excuse
God bless you, you're angry and so tired
you finish your sentence after you have expired
In silence, we are both alone
In silence just as the sun
Burns the rooftops off
Burns the rooftops off

And I don't know how
I don't know
But we should hang
Likening love to war
Likening love
Likening love to war

These delicious memories
Cigarettes, hot kisses and brandy
All of your faith might restore
Where it washed off and another symbol of repression
Marching through university halls
Another summer of sick ideas
And summery boys

In silence, you're both alone
And pay-off tomorrow
Just as the sun
Burns the rooftops off
Burns the rooftops off

And we should hang
Likening love to war
We should hang
We should hang
Likening love to war
Likening love
Likening love to war

We should hang
We should hang
Likening love to war
We should hang
We should hang
We should hang
Likening love to war
To war
