Cellar Darling Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lo and behold the fairy dust, run!
Splitting asunder of our home
Roars of thunder and lightning
Try to stun her to no avail, hey, hey hey
Hell-bent on crushing stars
She′s come to haunt our dreams
And poison our land
Be careful of the fairy dust, run!
Be careful of the fairy dust, run!
Splitting asunder of our home
Splitting asunder of the night sky
Hell-bent on crushing stars
She's come to haunt our dreams
Her dust will coat the skies...
Hell-bent on crushing stars
She′s come to haunt our dreams
Her dust will coat the skies
And poison our land
Hell-bent on crushing stars
She's come to haunt our dreams
Her dust will coat the skies...
