Lyrics Steven Wilson

Steven Wilson

The Holy Drinker

The Holy Drinker and his curse

In constant serfage to unquenchable thirst

And from his stupor the night gives birth

The devil rises from right out of the earth

With shaking hands and blackened heart

The glass he pours, this time it's also the last

In rapt communion with himself

The Holy Drinker is going straight in to hell

The coffin was made from a tree

Please hammer a nail in for me

The bottle slipped right through

Plague pits

Now underground

Take me down

Down

Put me in chains
