The Flagellant Lyrics by Sons of Perdition
If you stop this beating heart
And plant my body deep
Music Lyrics Source
If you stop this beating heart
And plant my body deep
Beyond the reach of the fire’s cruel glow
Past the fields and hedges
O lay me not in the consecrated ground
Beyond the reach of my bride’s ancient gods
Little brownies, little brownies, your master is dead
So fly down for coffee, and cake, and bread
Softly bedded down among crickets, beetles and worms
Ah, not asleep, gone and not gone
We summon thee in darkness
We summon thee through pain
You tie my hands and bind my feet
You sink me into sodden peat
