ina wroldsen - st. peter lyrics

[verse 1]
in the middle of h-ll lies a little st. peter
in a hospital bed burning up
with a cloth to his head, he is ridden by fever
and i can’t even tell whether the demons have won
and his mother is there with his brother tied to her back
praying as hard as she can to a god in a land that i think he forgot
in the middle of h-ll where a death by mosquito
is as everyday as my coffee or your cigarette

[chorus]
and she says “god bless me”
she says “god bless me”
and i shake my head
cause i can’t see god in this hospital bed
but she says “god bless me”
she says “god bless me”
and i look away
but as she lets go of my hand for the first time in this place
i pray
amen
amen

[verse 2]
i got plenty to give her but there’s nothing to offer
and the little i brought comes far too late
so i urge him to leave with a bottle of water
he is 7 years old, sleeping outside pearly gates
and his mother looks at me with eyes i will never let go
they are angry and sad beyond measure and mad with a childbearing love that i know
in the middle of h-ll we just sit with each other
on a hospital bed begging for death to go home

[outro]
in the middle of h-ll lies a little st. peter
in a hospital bed burning up
