Screaming scriptures the devil already knows
Won't get you any closer to heaven, or hell that you know
Sleeping beast, skeleton skeleton crawls
'Cause it has all the evil wrapped up, drive home

Oh, you don't say the words but you hold them close
To keep them away in the dark as they grow
Without any light any love or a kiss
You won't let them go so you speak with your fist

Put the banner down
Take off your petty crown
There's enough love lost that needs help to be found

You set your eyes of the queen and gave way to the wind
You left your family and friends, afraid of nothing
You found another just like you, like you wanted
Together you'll never let go, though the queen may be dead

Oh, you don't say the words but you hold them close
To keep them away in the dark as they grow
Without any light any love or a kiss
You won't let them go so you speak with your fist

Put the banner down
Take off your petty crown
Oh, put the banner down
Take off your petty crown
There's enough love lost that needs help to be found
