Lyrics
I took your council and came to ruin
Lead me to myself, leave me to myself
I took your council and came to ruin
Leave me to myself, lead me to myself
Oh I was made to live without you
But I'm never gonna understand, never understand
Oh I was born to live without you
But I'm never gonna understand, never understand

Hold me in your everlasting arms
Looked up for the fields trapped beneath the chandelier
It's going down

I thought it over, and drew the curtain
Leave me to myself, lead me to myself
I hummed the Dies Irae you played the Hallelujah
Lead me to myself, don't leave me in myself

If you'd been made to serve a master
You be fighting by the open night, fighting by the hand
Could I have been made to serve a master
When I'm never gonna understand, never understand

Hold me in your everlasting arms
Looked up full of fear trapped beneath the chandelier
It's going down
Hold me in your everlasting arms
Looked up full of fear trapped beneath the chandelier
It's going down
Hold me in your everlasting arms
