[Intro] [Verse] Another table, another night. Another shape beneath the sheet. The candle throws a second shadow That moves whenever I breathe. I swore I’d never do this twice. I swore I’d let the dead lie still. But promises are easy things When someone else can make you kneel. [Chorus] Two hearts in the darkness. Two shadows on the wall. I made you out of nothing. Now I fear you most of all. Two hearts in the darkness. Two creatures of my hand. If one could learn to hate me, What would two do to this land? [Instrumental] [Verse] What if she turns her face from him? What if she wants another life? What if they fill the earth with children Who have never known our kind? The thread is pulled between my fingers. The candle gutters in the draft. I see her lying on the table And know I cannot finish that. [Chorus] Two hearts in the darkness. Two shadows on the wall. I made you out of nothing. Now I fear you most of all. Two hearts in the darkness. Two creatures of my hand. If one could learn to hate me, What would two do to this land? [Break] I thought that I could live with one. I cannot live with two. [Instrumental] [Bridge] There was a face beneath the cloth. A mouth that never spoke. I tore the promise into pieces And watched the candle smoke. [Final Chorus] Two hearts in the darkness. Two shadows on the wall. I made you out of nothing. Now I fear you most of all. One heart in the darkness. One shadow on the wall. I broke the thing you begged me for, And now you’ll take it all. [Outro] I hear the wind against the glass. I know you’re standing there. [End]
