I Came For Fire Lyrics - I Aubade - Elvis Perkins

I turn up like midnight 

Like the edge of town 

Of all the loose matches 

I'll move among the found 

In fact they'll call me sire 

As I rise to the crown 

I came for fire 

A stickup, a cave, no sound 

Quiet the sirens 

Down every dead end seed 

Let in to the sun way 

The eye teeth 

The diet white tiger 

I force her to feed 

I came for fire 

My shade grows long against the trees 

Lift the trumpet 

Lead the unicorn 

Into the night 

No more forlorn 

The tower is wired 

To fall to a thorn 

I came for fire 

I put it to each, all form 

Just one second 

Before we end 

And back to the stars 

Return again 

I can hear the choirs 

From inside the curtain 

I came for fire 

If I go I know I come back again 

Or I stay for love
