Lyrics:
Her mother said if she couldn’t love
The physical way a woman should
Then where else could she could go
Where the sisters and the fathers can’t save her soul?
Send them in, see them on
If she can’t find a lover she’ll fashion one
Imaginary man, like the burnt out poets in the Hinterland
The phoenix says
The double says
The serpent says
The siren says
Why use the word, when the word needs the believe?
The hourglass sees what shelf-life does
She asked exactly: Tell me what is love, but breathing life alone?
And just the words from prophets and religious shows
Imagine hurt, imagine tears
She opened up until she disappeared
And vanished hand in hand
With all the long lost children locked in Neverland
The phoenix says
The double says
The serpent says
The siren says
Why use the word, when the word needs the believe?
The phoenix says - Burn for me
The double says - Lie for me
The serpent says - Beg for me
The siren says - Die for me

Her mother said if she couldn't love The physical way a woman should Then where else could she go? Where the sisters and the fathers can't save her soul Send them in, see them on She can't find a lover, she'll fashion one Imaginary men Like the burned out poets in the hinterland The Phoenix says The Double says The serpent says The siren says Why use the word, when the word it means to believe? Why use the word, when the word it means to believe? Why? The hourglass sees what shelf life does She asked, exactly tell me "What is love but grieving life alone?" Just the words from prophets and religious shows Imagine hurt, imagine tears She opened up until she disappeared Vanished, hand-in-hand With all the long-lost children locked in Neverland The Phoenix says The Double says The serpent says The siren says Why use the word, when the word it means to believe? Why use the word, when the word it means to believe? The Phoenix says The Double says The serpent says The siren says Oh, the Phoenix says (Burn for me) The Double says (Lie for me) The serpent says (Beg for me) The siren says (Die for me) Oh, the Phoenix says (Burn for me) The Double says (Lie for me) The serpent says (Beg for me) The siren says (Die for me)

One of my fave. Greetings from Mexico.

[@Gamer-dp6xg]

wow, so refreshing.

[@meilirima9597]

I thought on HTGAWM they'd keep using songs form IAMX and hoped they'd use this one, it seemed really fitting.

[@desireehaynes8541]

He saysthe Phoenix says burn for me, the the double says lie for me, the serpant says beg for me, the siren says die for me, i love the lyrics so much, so dark and ominous

[@lumity238]

Very Exotic... Beautiful 2019

[@katerynakonec2496]

As for me, I am listening this, she looks like a charmed, love her music so much kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKmpqJKfqtB-ipI

[@Khione612]

When Pandora gets the lyrics wrong and the whole time you were saying the wrong things

[@desireehaynes8541]

This video has always given me sort of a Tim Burton vibe

[@zinniechic3610]

Makes me want to slide down a pole 🖤

[@katerynakonec2496]

It is good, but it does exist something better, a bit of gothic style, here kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKmpqJKfqtB-ipI

[@Katykatakatekatrinakasia]

Great!

[@katerynakonec2496]

Here I found what I was searching for the long time, dark side of unconditionnal love, inbelievable… kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKmpqJKfqtB-ipI

[@VonBlargh]

These sound a tad "heavier" than what i have.... >=D

[@ScottRobsco]

❤🧡💛💚💙💜

[@NART211]

I never understood what he means by "the double". I used to think that he says "the devil". But the lyrics says "double" and when you listen closely you hear the "b" sound. Any thoughts on what he might mean?

[@Ivy-dd8bf]

Gemini, maybe? Or a reflection. Trying to think of how lie could tie into those things.

[@MrPorqpine]

Hey guys, you shared quite interesting ideas but I believe that the right word is devil so that it would make sense (although he doesn't pronounce it so clearly). Also I have found these lyrics that prove it songsear.ch/song/Song-of-Imaginary-Beings/IAMX/2122727

[@MrPorqpine]

Good to know ;-)

[@NART211]

Maybe Chris just wanted to leave it for interpretations or maybe it's something related to him. Who knows I guess

[@NART211]

@@MrPorqpine the lyrics in the description are the official ones. You can also find them on IAMX's official site. I'd like to believe that it's "the devil" because that would end all the wonder lol but I'm pretty sure it's not

[@leonardodias2967]

Reminds me the character Macabéa from "A Hora da Estrela"

[@fishb0wllyuh739]

no bird is the word chris

[@katerynakonec2496]

It is to much pop music, why noone listens this, I advice you to listen to kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKmpqJKfqtB-ipI
