[Verse 1] Black coat on the gravel path One more circuit round the walls Two years mapping every bluff Two years learning cannon calls I knew the gates, the sentry pace The roses clipped in formal rows I knew the ways men lose their nerve When winter moves through Tudor stone [Pre-Chorus] I had plans in my left hand Names in my right I had answers for a siege For a blade in the night But the hush broke clean By the yew tree glow And I turned too slow [Chorus] Gemini, Gemini Why tonight? Gemini, Gemini Wrong damn light I was built for war Built for steel Not for beauty that can kill Gemini, Gemini You caught me still [Verse 2] Two faces in the silver grass Two voices in the same cold breath One wore gold in her braided hair One smiled like she knew my death They stepped out soft from the moon No hoofbeat, no warning cry I raised my hand, I reached for air And found enchantment in her eyes [Spoken] I have studied patrol lines. I have measured walls by the stone. I have faced a hundred threats with a calm man's face. None of them looked like you. [Pre-Chorus] Then the night bent low And the world went thin Every oath I kept Started caving in My name on my tongue Went mute, went slow And I let it go [Chorus] Gemini, Gemini Why tonight? Gemini, Gemini Wrong damn light I was built for war Built for steel Not for beauty that can kill Gemini, Gemini You caught me still [Bridge] One laughed like spring rain on glass One traced a sigil in the air I swear I meant to draw and strike I swear I was halfway there But my heart, traitor that it is Knew a softer kind of defeat A strategist can count the odds But not the pulse beneath his feet [Spoken] If this is a trap, it is the most elegant one I've ever seen. [Final Chorus] Gemini, Gemini Take your prize Gemini, Gemini Read my eyes I was built for war Built for steel Not for beauty that can kill Gemini, Gemini You caught me still Gemini, Gemini And I don't want to leave
