Heaven and the Holier-Than-Thou Lyrics

(Aah, aah, aah-aah)
(Aah, aah, aah-aah)

The radio's playing songs
That remind me of love
And lust and fantasy
I'm waiting for the hands of time to slow
I'm watching from the wings
But no one knows

Contained in those familiar songs
Sharp reminders of pain
And loss and timeless need
Reflecting in shapes of afterglow
Rejected, in decay, the frozen rose

Hold tight, don't fight
Drifting in a sleepless bromide
So high, won't die
Desolate and beached at low tide

A seance for a billion souls
Just reminds me I'm lost
Consigned to purgatory

We are the night, as cold as ice
The spirits caught up in the astral sphere
We are the time honoured ghosts
Of a by gone promise
Damned and Necronomicon bound

Our earthly ties were our demise
A smoke dispersing through the atmosphere
We faced the eye of the storm
And the dawn stopped coming
Heaven and the 'holier-than-thou'
Can't save us now

(Aah, aah, aah-aah)
(Aah, aah, aah-aah)

They say not every demon
Lies in the deepest
Of all our dreams and ecstasies
The Exorcist at least defines the blow
We pacify the beast but down we go

The day we keep in all inside is the day
That we doubt our own complexities
We're fading like a Michelangelo
And fated to the dark adagio

Hold tight, don't fight
Drifting in a sleepless bromide
So high, won't die
Desolate and beached at low tide

Departed and deceased
Designed to divide
Into shades of light a prism bleeds

We are the night, as cold as ice
The spirits caught up in the astral sphere
We are the time honoured ghosts
Of a by gone promise
Damned and Necronomicon bound

Our earthly ties were our demise
A smoke dispersing through the atmosphere
We faced the eye of the storm
And the dawn stopped coming
Heaven and the 'holier-than-thou'
Can't save us now

(Aah, don't fight)
(Aah, bromide)
(Aah, won't die)
(Aah, aah)

We are the night, as cold as ice
The spirits caught up in the astral sphere
We are the time honoured ghosts
Of a by gone promise
Damned and Necronomicon bound

Our earthly ties were our demise
A smoke dispersing through the atmosphere
We faced the eye of the storm
And the dawn stopped coming
Heaven and the 'holier-than-thou'

We are the night, as cold as ice
The spirits caught up in the astral sphere
We are the time honoured ghosts
Of a by gone promise
Damned and Necronomicon bound

Our earthly ties were our demise
A smoke dispersing through the atmosphere
We faced the eye of the storm
And the dawn stopped coming
Heaven and the 'holier-than-thou'
Can't save us now

(Aah, aah, aah-aah)
(Aah, aah, aah-aah)
(Aah, aah, aah-aah)
(Aah, aah, aah-aah)

The radio's playing songs
That remind me of love
And lust and fantasy
