St. Peter's Keys All Bloody

Current 93 - St. Peter's Keys All Bloody Lyrics

Hello darkness my old friendI've come to talk to you againBecause a vision softly in-creepingCrushed my mind while I was sleepingAnd the vision like silent cancers stayThrough nights and daysAnd there was the sound of silenceAnd the people bowed and prayedTo the neon god they madeAnd the sign said the words of the prophetsAre written on the subway wallsAnd tenement hallsAnd echoed in the sounds of silence(Are you going to Scarborough Fair?Parsley, sage, rosemary and thymeRemember me to one who lives thereShe once was a true love of mine)(Between the power and the gloryFalls the Shadow)(Life is short)(Life is very short)
