Behemoth Lyrics

Let the snow fall down

Let it take from us warmth of our soul

Let the rain fall down

Let it wash us of all our emptiness

Let the sun burn down

Keep its children warm

And if it gets too close

May it burn us all

Let the Earth shake

Open wide

Let it swallow us; amen

(So we can be so warm, again and again)

Let the wind blow

Shake the leaves

Of the dying trees

(So they can move one last time)

Let the heavens pardon us

For our selfish deeds

If we get too small watching from above

May you send your hand, down through the sky

May we give our lives

Taking others from their own heathen ways and

Cleanse this land, strong and pure

Hear me (a-men)

We've got time to spend searching for all the

Devil's work, and still we deny it

We deny his capacity to take even the ones we love

Bless your mother's heart, we knew that it was her time

How quickly she disappeared

And let us keep her alive for he wants us to forget

Let us hear of her sins so we can learn why she's gone and

Let us take to our own lives, the lessons she has passed on

So be grateful that she has left us

For we know not what could happen

If we give ourselves, and the company we keep, up to temptation

May the darkness of my soul, stay within me lord

If it comes again, oh the guilt I bear

Keep my daughter safe within your hands

(Take me, take me)

Won't you come for me, won't you take me home

When I took her life, how she bled for you

How the devil takes over everyone

(Come to my house, to my front door, and strike me down for evermore)

I've got a wife but I don't love her, a child I don't know

She's smitten with a monster, and a monster's keeping her at home

Oh, your mother was an angel; her heart was laced with gold

Her thoughts were always of you, but the devil came, or so you're told

And he controlled her secrets, and made her keep his own

But the knife that took her sorrow was held in my firm hands and oh

The guilt I feel, the guilt I feel, the guilt I feel, the sorrow I can't bear

Death, how she bled for me. Oh, how I bleed for you
