Stranglers - Souls lyrics

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 heat 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
