Lyrics for Like Light to the Flies

Behold our beloved revels in tragedy (in tragedy) Self-denying avarice for bloodshed, behold Hypocrite Those who run will be burned Those who run will be burned Those who run will be burned Those who run will be burned Devoutly wished for blinded eyes This tragedy's like light to flies It seems to suit you better Bleeding out the eyes (bleeding out the eyes) Hopes left in chain suspension Holding onto lies to make the truth Behold our beloved revels in tragedy (in tragedy) Self denying avarice for bloodshed, behold Hypocrite Those who run will be burned Those who run will be burned Those who run will be burned Those who run will be burned Devoutly wished for blinded eyes This tragedy's like light to flies It seems to suit you better Bleeding out the eyes (bleeding out the eyes) Hopes left in chain suspension Holding onto lies to make the truth Devoutly wished for blinded eyes This tragedy's like light to flies It seems to suit you better Bleeding out the eyes (bleeding out the eyes) Hopes left in chain suspension Holding onto lies to make the truth It seems to suit you better Bleeding out the eyes (bleeding out the eyes) Hopes left in chain suspension Holding onto lies to make the truth
