Altar (Stripped) Songtext
von machineheart

I dug up all my little secrets
What a shame, livin′ in such regret
Suddenly, I could see how needy
I'd become, desperate for some healing
You showed up, just how I had seen it
In my dreams, speakin′ words I needed
A violent crashin' from the ceiling
You reached out and you caught me from the demons

Father, save me
Take me away from Hell and then
Heaven, help me
Steady my feet again


I'm runnin′ up to the altar
Drink from the water
′Til you show me some love
I am waiting
I've got a heart full of sorrow
Chest that feels hollow
And I know I need someone to save me
Oh, save my, save my
Save my soul, oh
Save my, save my
Save my soul

I struggled hard to find some meanin′
Dead of night, nightingale was singin'
Her bittersweet melody around me
Lay your love heavy and surround me

Father, save me
Take me away from Hell and then
Heaven, help me
Steady my feet again

I′m runnin' up to the altar
Drink from the water
′Til you show me some love
I am waiting
I've got a heart full of sorrow
Chest that feels hollow
And I know I need someone to save me
Oh, save my, save my
Save my soul, oh
Save my, save my
Save my soul


These arms, feelin' so heavy
The weight, I cannot carry
Oh Lord, comfort my weary heart now
Would you carry me?
Would you carry me?
Would you carry me?
Would you carry me?

I′m runnin′ up to the altar
Drink from the water
Would you show me some love?
I am waiting
I'm runnin′ up to the altar
Drink from the water
Would you show me some love
I am waiting
I've got a heart full of sorrow
Chest that feels hollow
And I know I need someone to save me
Oh, save my, save my
Save my soul, oh
Save my, save my
Save my soul
