Chapel Perilous

All my life I've disappeared Tell myself it would get better So my wife, you lead me here To Chapel Perilous I enter And all the blessings of the world Could not heal the sadness in me As poppies in the light unfurl So might I, if truth shined near me Take me, guide my hand, take me in The hand that left its mark on me Is the only hand to heal me All the doors or gates to paradise Guarded, gated or boarded, all locked to me Take me, guide my hand, take me in Take me in, guide my hand, take me in And the mouth that took the breath from me Left my tongue a burning desert I must kiss so hard it bleeds I will bring the rains to wet it Take me, guide my hand, take me in And here in Chapel Perilous Kings are made and lives are ended I will learn to trust my love Until the bonds we sever Are mended Take me, guide my hand, take me in Take me, guide my hand, take me in
