Sybil II Lyrics
I'll go to pieces if you left me a niece
You can't crucify higher than hell
Well ashes to ashes and making the passes
The potent side of the curb
But I came here covered in soot
From the canopy that breaks on the core made of wood
And as you beholden to me, well I fall
When you wait on the morrow and your legs stay in the burrow
She belies the tallest set of deaths
I can't let you mean it and say you don't need it
'Cause we get lost in the city well
It's not just how you fight when the windows are bright
It's just me all cold soaked in love
It's a lesson incurred that's barely heard
The devil will never mess this vein
You can't crucify higher than hell
Well ashes to ashes and making the passes
The potent side of the curb
From the canopy that breaks on the core made of wood
And as you beholden to me, well I fall
She belies the tallest set of deaths
I can't let you mean it and say you don't need it
'Cause we get lost in the city well
It's just me all cold soaked in love
It's a lesson incurred that's barely heard
The devil will never mess this vein

From the info blurb on PatchMusic: "“Sybil II” is the sequel to “Sybil I” from the band’s first album. It’s a tribute to our tour manager, who happens to be my long-time girlfriend, for being out on the road and encouraging me to keep playing music and for being a wonderful woman whom I love very much. That’s dedicated to her."
I've wanted to see the lyrics to this song for a long time, and am glad that i found them. A lot was cleared up. But upon close comparison. The line she belies the tallest set of deaths, is actually "she belies the tallest citadel". That said, i find Sybil II to be a much catchier song than Sybil I.
