Santa Sangre - Marriages

I cannot wait

House of one hundred days

Wait for the white arms of Abel to

Tear me out of the waves, wet

I will not lay

Give you one hundred ways

For what I know isn’t able to

Lift us up from the grave’s bed

Oh santa, santa sangre saint

Oh lift and sift the blood of shame

Undone, undone, the way we came

It’s said you wait for forever, too

I cannot keep

So low, one hundred deep

Bent down, unwilling, unable to

Pull us out of the shade, he said

I will not sleep

Show in one thousand ways

That I am willing as Abel to

Raise us up from the pavement

Oh santa, santa sangre saint

Oh lift and sift the blood, our vein

Undone, undone, the ways of shame

It’s said she waits for forever

I’ll wait, I’ll wait, till you’ve bled out

I’ll wait, I’ll wait forever

I’ll wait, I’ll wait, till you’ve bled out

I’ll wait, I’ll wait forever

I’ll wait, I’ll wait, till you’ve bled out

I’ll wait, I’ll wait forever

I’ll wait, I’ll wait, till you’ve bled out

I’ll wait, I’ll wait forever

I’ll come back when you’ve bled out

I’ll come back when you’ve bled out

I’ll come back when you’ve bled out

I’ll come back when you’ve bled out

I’m saved

I’m saved

I’m saved

I’m saved
