Emily Jane White - The Wolves lyrics

When you were thrown, to the wolves I tried to save you, but my heart was in repose And please take with you, this piece of fragile gold For my j**els they lay here on the altar Safely hidden from your rapture When they drove the stake into you I saw your body it was hollow through and through And I don't need faith to know that I can still see you For I died with you in this rapture Our bodies slain here on the altar When you were small, they wrote lines on the wall, that said you're nothing at all And the capture, of your dreams, and the rapture and the scream, and your body's still next to me. When you died, everyone knew your name Your body and face carved out in a deliberate frame And we all surrendered to this deep impending shame For we died with you in this rapture, our bodies slain here on the altar When you were small, they wrote lines on the wall, That said you're nothing at all And the capture, of your dream, and the rapture, and the scream, and your body's still next to me
