With You Came the Whole of the World's Tears Lyrics

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 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 front 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.
