Emily Jane White - The Wolves lyrics

When you were thrown, to the wolves
I tried to save you
But my heart was in repose
And please take with you
This piece of fragile gold
For my jewels they lay here on the altar
Safely hidden from your rapture

When they drove the stake into you
I saw your body it was
Hollow through and through
And I don't need faith to know
That I can still see you
For I died with you in this rapture
Our bodies slain here on the altar

When you were small
They wrote lines on the wall
That said you're nothing at all
And the capture of your dreams
And the rapture and the scream
And your body's still next to me

When you died, everyone knew your name
Your body and face carved out
In a deliberate frame
And we all surrendered to
This deep impending shame
For we died with you in this rapture
Our bodies slain here on the altar

When you were small
They wrote lines on the wall
That said you're nothing at all
And the capture of your dream
And the rapture and the scream
And your body's still next to me
