Souls - Hugh Cornwell

Just like an Indian I climb, offering sacrifice

Up to the temple on the hill, can human heart suffice

Can I survive the world alone, without a well within my home

Without the one idol’s love shining down upon me

She eats souls

She eats souls

All that I’m offering’s the heart, that’s all I have to give

With all this heart surrounding me, my deity forgives

And if she needs it every day, I’ll climb the steps my savage way

Uttering incantations up up above me

She eats souls

She eats souls

Souls…

Can I survive the world alone, without a well within my home

Without the one idol’s love shining down upon me

She eats souls

She eats souls
