Elegy to the Void - Beach House

To your sons and daughters

Bending at the altar

Disappearing in the mirror

Watch it as it burns out

(It is just a flame)

Freckle faced young virgin

(It is just a game)

Platinum vision

Bringing you down again and again

Again and again

Black clock looming distant

You’re a great white

They were never listening

Waiting for the light to come again

Deep beneath the waves

Lilies of the day

Garden of remains

Diamond maiden chained

To your sons and daughters

Bending at the altar

Don’t you disappear in the mirror again and again

Again and again

Deep beneath the waves

White-winged birds of May

Run from hollow hills

Walk into the night

Deep beneath the waves

Lilies of the day

Run from hollow hills

Walk into the night
