Virtue

Virtue - Bloc Party (街區派對樂隊)

Written by：Russell Lissack/Kele Okereke

Temptation hides

In the space between

Lord help me fight

This desire for fire

Words can cleanse and purify

Or tear down a pack of lies

In your presence consequence

I can't stop trembling

For all of my virtue

Why can I not hold the truth

For all my good fortune

I would change my place with you

This path will lead us back

Will lead us back to ruin

For all of my virtue

Why can I not hold the truth

This path will lead us back

Will lead us back to ruin

For all of my virtue

Why can I not hold the truth

Once in a while

The urge resurfaces

So we split hairs

As rumours circulate

And there's a need to fertilise

Behind my lover's trusting eye

Like water drops on burning warts

I can't stop trembling

For all of my virtue

Why can I not hold the truth

For all my good fortune

I would change my place with you

This path will lead us back

Will lead us back to ruin

For all of my virtue

Why can I not hold the truth

I've fallen

I've fallen again

I've fallen

I've fallen again

I've fallen

I've fallen again

I've fallen
