Mumford & Sons - Broken Crown (To Darkness) lyrics

rate me

Touch my mouth

And hold my tongue

I'll never be your chosen one

I'll be home, safely tucked away

You can't tempt me if I don't see the day

The pull on my flesh is just too strong

It stifles the choice and the air in my lungs

Better not to breathe than to breathe a lie

When I open my body and breathe alive

I will not speak of your sin

There was no way out for him

The mirror shows not

Your values are all shot

But oh, my heart was flawed

I knew my weakness

So hold my hand

Consign me not to darkness

Crawl on my belly til the sun goes down

I'll never wear your broken crown

I took the rope and I fucked it all the way

In this twilight, how dare you speak of grace

Crawl on my belly til the sun goes down

I'll never wear your broken crown

I'll take the ropes and fuck it all the way

In this twilight, how dare you speak of grace

Crawl on my belly til the sun goes down

I'll never wear your broken crown

I can take the rope and I can fuck it all the way

But in this twilight, our choices seal our fate
