Saint Peter
Save me and send me down to hell
♪
For I will find her there
♪
Where moonlight catches her scarlet hair
♪
Where she sings
♪
And black ravens circle above her
In the burning air
♪
Silence your heart before it tears you apart
Keep your eyes on the distant thunder
Unfold your wings against the dark
♪
My heart thrown to the lions

My soul fed to the wolves
Arise, arise, arise
Walk on your altar of sacrifice
And let the blood run for her

My heart thrown to the lions
My soul fed to the wolves
♪
My body left for the winter
My eyes for the night
With you came the whole of the world's tears
The space between the heartbeats
Is where I felt you
♪
A small death each and every time
My heart thrown to the lions
My soul fed to the wolves
Arise, arise, arise
Walk on your altar of sacrifice
And let the blood run for her
♪
I stand straight at the form of my faith
To keep the last of my honour

But my legs won't carry me anymore
Paralysed before the eyes of a hunter
♪
I open up my veins for the parasites to come
♪
Silence your heart before it tears you apart

Keep your eyes on the distant thunder
Unfold your wings against the dark
♪
My heart thrown to the lions
My soul fed to the wolves
Arise, arise, arise
Walk on your altar of sacrifice
And let the blood run for her
My heart thrown to the lions

My soul fed to the wolves
♪
My body left for the winter
My eyes for the night
♪
