Cat's Worst Grave Lyrics - Singles - Chandelier

I remember yearnings, so long ago 

Hiding in your helping hands, feeling low 

Every line I know, every song I learned by heart 

You stopped the flow from my bleeding soul 

After lover's grief had torn it apart 

Your comfort and your purity encouraged me 

To keep my dreams alive, to stand up to the storm 

In your tenderness, in your peacefulness you smiled 

You were so strong in your morality 

And so lovely like a child 

Heart of gold turned to stone 

Heart so old stop to pray 

"Salman must die! The arrow's on its way!" 

What has become of you, which devil burned your mind 

I know in wintertime it's hard to catch a leaf 

In your loneliness, in your rain you saw no light 

You who healed so many wounds, were killed in the fight 

Torturers must have robbed your corpse 

Torturers taught you to pray 

"Salman must die! The arrow's on its way!" 

I can't believe my ears 

It's not true what you say 

It's not you. You pray 

The divine satanic verses revealed satanic minds 

A grey old man without a smile, the cheering mob behind 

Inside their blinded hearts, mercy rebels in vain 

And their hate destroys unrestrained 

Is this a world you like, a heaven on earth, my friend 

Teaser and the firecat would've been tortured 'til the end 

I hope your god is merciful, more merciful than you 

Sad Lisa won't trust you no more 

Heart of stone return to gold 

Heart so old stop to pray 

"Salman must die! The arrow's on its way!" 

I can't believe my ears 

It's not true what you say 

It's not you. You pray 

Back in his hiding place, a poet tries to cry 

Last lines on a yellow sheet 

So cold without you, love
