     Gm            Em
The day was nearly over
They were hosing down the hulls
They caught sight of her poor body
In the rushes and the mud

     C                 Am
She lay where she had fallen
They had hunted high and low
But winter had come early
                C          Em
And she'd been covered up by snow

It took an hour to cut her
From the spot where she was found
A bright red velvet ribbon
Was tangled in her gown

Her skin was icy white
Her veins were thin and blue
There was black ink on her fingers
And blood on her toes and her shoes

 D                        Am
Bees made honey upon her lips
Lips I waited so long to kiss
She seemed so pure without a doubt
'Til the last red drop leaked out

Chorus:
Em         G D
Destroying angels
I knew you so well
Destroying angels
No lies will you tell
No lies will you tell

Some things they are so painful
No words for them exist
And everyone was solemn
As they laid her in the dirt

I stood trembling by her graveside
With everybody else
My sins and all my secrets burned
Like fat inside my chest

I could tell you that I loved her more
Than I ever loved myself
I could swear I'd never harm a hair
Upon her lovely head

But I stole her savage beauty
She will never lie again
I stuffed her full of death caps
And it killed my angel dead

Bees made honey upon her lips
Lips I've waited so long to kiss
She seemed so pure without a doubt
'Til the last red drop leaked out

Chorus - 2

Destroying angels
I knew you so well
Destroying angels
No lies will you tell
No more lies
No lies will you tell
No more lies
No lies will you tell
No more lies
No lies will you tell
