Although it is June?

Verse 2:

BbmBbm             AbAb

That your rapture was growing

Just a little too soon

Verse 3:

But under these mountains

                AbAb
the nights and the shadows grow long

The stars up above you feel wrong

This is not your sky?

Pray

Her body recoils

                AbAb
as your hand goes to touch her again

At her side you're alone

No, this flesh is not home

You carry a vague conviction

This life rose from an eviction

Out of your homeland

Verse 7:

True but it's also addiction

To this soft crucifixion

Under these foreign hands

Chorus 3:

And like all Christs before you

you kneel down beneath the night sky

To look into your father's eyes

And only feel lost

Cru cified to a strange constellation

A augmentedA new king awaits coronation

Here

under the Southern Cross
