david xeno: refrain
frisky flame, how you flutter and gutter
you do not fret for fame or due.
trembling lips stumble and stutter;
you cannot stay still after missing your cue.
your love sustained me, your love restrained me,
your love remained after they went;
your love detained me, your love has pained me,
your love lies broken, your love is spent.
they came for him soon in the morning,
they came for him late in the night;
they came for him - first light was dawning,
the cock crowed three times at the sight.
a peasant girl is running, skin scorched by blazing napalm
a Buddhist monk is burning, he falls, his robe still aflame.
downstairs the pitchforks turn souls into cinders
upstairs it's white: white soot and white embers.
i loved you once; love lies broken
love lies broken
love lies broken (refrain).
