Saint Peter you say?

Swallow the Sun - With You Came the Whole of the World's Tears

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

Saint Peter Save me and send me down to hell

Ignore my autism. Fucking love this song.
