Killer in the Wind

Verse 1

You appeared like a crystal vision

The sun in one eye

The moon in the other

They held me like a violin

My voice could never

Sing for another

Pre-Chorus

My wish?

Just to fix upon your gaze

I'm too blind

To tell your lips

From nightshade

Your love

Is a mark under my skin

Returned

With a heart so pale with sin

You’re gone

Before morning light begins

Like a killer in the wind

Chorus

A killer in the wind

Verse 2

I feel you beneath the darkest eaves

You’re out there lurking

Creeping in the shadows

As floorboards creek

Your secrets speak

Of lovers laid and taken to the gallows

Pre-Chorus

Now I know

Of the wayward ghosts that feared you

And now I know

Of the roads you're so

Afraid of

The tears

That you break within your silence

Becomes the shame

That my mouth

Will thirst to taste

I'm afraid

That I am no survivor

I’m only alive

So you can slay me again

You’re a killer in the wind

Chorus

A killer in the wind

Outro

Your eyes

Your eyes

Your eyes

Deceive you

Your heart

Your heart

Your heart

Will bleed you

(The killer's in your mind)

Your eyes

Your eyes

Your eyes

Deceive you

Your heart

Your heart

Your heart

Will bleed you
