"Hymn To Virgil" lyrics - HOZIER

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

[Pre-Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
You are the reason I went through it, oh
The only meaning as I knew it, my-yeah
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

[Pre-Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
You are the reason I went through it, oh
The only meaning as I knew it, my-yeah
And I can only do my best, I do not do this for myself
I'd walk through hell on living feet for you

[Outro:]
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
