Holy Water Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The sinner's in the hospital room
The saint is in the bed
We don't know what went wrong
All we believed in is gone
The city smells of vicious perfume
And all we love is dead
I don't know where I'm from
All I know is I don't belong
[Chorus]
How long till we drink the holy water?
How long can we survive?
I'm on my knees begging
Please let it flow
This font is dry
[Verse 2]
I crushed another wish in my hand
I stomped another rose
I don't know right from wrong
All I need's new direction
[Chorus]
How long till we drink the holy water?
How long can we survive?
I'm on my knees begging
Please let it flow
I know that this font is dry
[Bridge]
If we could talk about it
Sing a song about it
Throw our arms around it
We could make a change
Or we could shout about it
Start a fight about it
Spill some blood around it
Make the same mistakes
[Chorus]
How long till we drink the holy water?
How long can we survive?
I'm on my knees begging
Please let it flow
This font is dry
[Outro]
I hope that you don't
Ever get what you want
'Cause the silence has sung
We're the intimate ones
They won't look past
They will only look through
These infinite worlds
Between me and you
I hope that you don't
Ever get what you want
'Cause the silence has sung
We're the intimate ones
They won't look past
They will only look through
These infinite worlds
Between me and you

What did Biffy Clyro say about "Holy Water"?
I had the full first half of this written about 18 months ago, but it wasn’t quite ready for A Celebration. I already had the lyrics about ‘Sinner’s in a hospital room/The saint is in the bed’. When the pandemic happened, it was like the universe had talked to me. Suddenly, the song seemed very impo...
