Hymn to Virgil

“If I held in my hands everything gold could buy
I’d still not have a thing worth giving you
You tell me the sun is shining in paradise
And I have to watch your lips turn blue

I would burn the world to bring some heat to you
I would burn the world to bring some heat to you
I would burn the world to bring some heat

You are the reason I went through it
The only meaning as I knew it
And I can only do my best
I do not do this for myself
I’d walk through Hell on living feet for you

I wouldn’t be seen walking through any door
Some place that you’re not welcome to
You stare at the faces smiling from somewhere warm
From some place the sunlight won’t come through…”

Hozier. “Hymn to Virgil.” Unreal Unearth: Unending. December 6th, 2024.
