Songtexte Saints - Lark

Screams are coming from the kitchen
There's a lion at my door
And some's calling the police but there's no one near the phone
I heard about it
Yeah, I know it all

I tried to reach beneath my feet
Spiders crawling up my sleeve
And singing all about how
I was going to die alone next week
And all I asked was "will they weep"?

And in my room, there was a fog
And from that fog came out a God
He tried to judge me for my sins
But he didn't call my bluff
I said that I was just a victim
It was the world that was at fault
I'm only asking absolution
For the saints I helped fall

There's water dripping from the ceiling
And its falling on my eye
But when the camera rolls
I won't have to fake the tears and cry
Oh, but I do lie

The sky has turned into a puzzle
And it's puzzling my heart
And there's a piece that's missing
A bright star spinning lost in time
Yeah, it's lost in time

But from the corpses of the dead
Alive and well came out a girl
She tried to judge me for my sins
And I had no one left to blame
Then all my scams and all my cons
Came dancing like a thousand swans
Built a wall between me
And the ones that I love

But I will rise above this hell
I'll slay the beast I'll bring its head
I will atone for all my sins
Finally lay myself to rest
I will seduce the holy ghost
Make him a sinner like we all
I'll take my place in the throne
For the saints are all gone

Screams are coming from the kitchen
There's a lion at my door
And some's calling the police but there's no one near the phone
I heard about it
Yeah, I know it all
