lyrics

Peter And The Wolf

By: Joshua Letkeman

Nov 30/2011 All Approx Written between 2:35 PM - 3:47 PM

INTRO
Peter drugged the children, He dragged the little children away
Peter sent the children, He sent them to an early grave

VERSE 1
Peter was a predator, He dragged the children in the lake
And every single morning as the bodies started rising he'd say
"I'm a bad man, cause i don't even love her, go away"
"The wolf is rooted deep in my soul, that no good can breathe"

PRE-CHORUS
And this is what he'd say x2
He said:

CHORUS
"I'm going down to the water, to pray
that the Lord takes my soul away"
"I'm going down to the water, to pray
that the Lord he takes my life away"
And this is what he'd say

VERSE 2
Peter deemed desire, a greater love, a cage for me
A wheel barrow full of rotten teeth, lies in the trees
Covered, buried, broken bones and dreams, tears from me
Where he bled my soul, one weary day, when i was three

PRE-CHORUS
And this is what he'd say x2
He said:

CHORUS
"I'm going down to the water, to pray
that the Lord takes my soul away"
"I'm going down to the water, to pray
that the Lord he takes my life away"
"I'm going down to the water, to pray
that the Lord takes my soul away"
"I'm going down"

OUTRO
Sing little children to the life
of never was
that never seemed to hear you
Sing little children to the life

Of what you felt, down below
And everything sinks below
Of what you felt, down below
And everything sinks below

And what you felt down below
Was robbed from you('ll) never grow
And what you felt, down below
And everything sinks below

And what you felt down below
Was robbed from you('ll) never grow
And what you felt, down below
And everything sinks below

No more light
life left my eyes
never to grow
never i'll know
never you'll see
never know me
never i'll be
dreams stole from me
