With You Came the Whole of the World’s Tears

[Intro]
"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."

[Verse 1]
Silence your heart before it tears you apart
Keep your eyes on the distant thunder
Unfold your wings against the dark

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
My heart thrown to the lions
My soul fed to the wolves
My body left for the winter
My eyes for the night

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge 1]
I stand straight at the front of my faith
To keep the last of my honor
But my legs won't carry me anymore
Paralyzed before the eyes of a hunter
I open up my veins for the parasites to come

[Bridge 2]
Silence your heart before it tears you apart
Keep your eyes on the distant thunder
Unfold your wings against the dark

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
My heart thrown to the lions
My soul fed to the wolves
My body left for the winter
My eyes for the night

[Outro]
"Saint Peter
Save me and send me down to hell"
