Virtue Lyrics - Hymns - Bloc Party

Temptation hides 

In the space between 

Lord, help me fight 

This desire for fire 

Words can cleanse and purify 

Or tear down a pack of lies 

In your presence, consequence 

I can't stop trembling 

For all of my virtue 

Why can I not hold the truth? 

For all my good fortune 

I would change my place with you 

This path will lead us back 

Will lead us back to ruin 

For all of my virtue 

Why can I not hold the truth? 

This path will lead us back 

Will lead us back to ruin 

For all of my virtue 

Why can I not hold the truth? 

Once in a while 

The urge resurfaces 

So we split hairs 

As rumours circulate 

And there's a need to fertilise 

Behind my lover's trusting eye 

Like water drops on burning warts 

I can't stop trembling 

For all of my virtue 

Why can I not hold the truth? 

For all my good fortune 

I would change my place with you 

This path will lead us back 

Will lead us back to ruin 

For all of my virtue 

Why can I not hold the truth? 

I've fallen 

I've fallen again 

I've fallen 

I've fallen again 

I've fallen 

I've fallen again 

I've fallen
