Hymn To Virgil Songtext
von Hozier

If I held in my hands everything gold could buy
I′d still not have a thing worth giving you
You tell me the sun's shining in paradise
And I have to watch your lips turn blue

I would burn the world to bring some heat to you
I would burn the world to bring some heat to you
I would burn the world to bring some heat

You are the reason I went through it, oh
The only meaning as I knew it, whoa-yeah
I can only do my best, I do not do this for myself
I′d walk through hell on living feet for you


I wouldn't be seen walking through any door
Some place that you're not welcome to
You stare at the faces smiling from somewhere warm
Some place the sunlight won′t come through

I would burn the world to bring some heat to you
I would burn the world to bring some heat to you
I would burn the world to bring some heat

You are the reason I went through it, oh
The only meaning as I knew it, my-yeah
I can only do my best, I do not do this for myself
I′d walk through hell on living feet for you

I would burn the world to bring some heat to you
I would burn the world to bring some heat to you
I would burn the world to bring some heat
