Lyrics

Little boy
You’ll never make it to the city
If you don’t learn the ways of the world
The sin of pity
Is no defence against hands that steal
So stop your crying
You’re not dying
The only way you’re gonna feel yourself again

Blood is sweeter than Honey
Hush up and dry your eyes
Blood is sweeter than Honey
Don’t try to tell yourself otherwise..

Little boy
You’re in a different dreamscape
Seems your dreams don’t travel well
As you haul your ashes
From the north of Heaven to the south of Hell
But when you waken its there for the taking
You know the only way you’re gonna fill up this lack
Is to get them back..

Blood is sweeter than Honey
Hush up and dry your eyes
Blood is sweeter than Honey
Don’t try to tell yourself otherwise..

Little boy
Let the veil fall from your eyes
Wake up and realise
The only way you’re gonna feel yourself again
Is to get Revenge

Blood is sweeter than Honey
Hush up and dry your eyes
Blood is sweeter than Honey
Don’t try to tell yourself otherwise..
