Stood Before Saint Peter (Remaster) Lyrics

Stood Before Saint Peter (Remaster) - The Icicle Works

Written by:Ian McNabb

 

In the moment of my madness

 

In the presence of my shame

 

I stood before St Peter

 

Naked and unnamed

 

Praying the fell with genius

 

Win the blue silk hoe

 

Across the street where angels stood

 

In colors bright and bold

 

He said son before I judge you

 

I have to make this clear

 

Your heartfelt prayers for heaven on earth

 

Don't come to much up here

 

Cause you still kill your brother

 

You watch children die

 

Two thousand years ain't changed your ways

 

And still you wonder why

 

The east side and the west side

 

With great distance in between

 

Are parted by false values

 

And a blindness seldom seen

 

There's murder in the city street

 

Bloodshed in the fields

 

You take your life so lightly

 

Can you imagine how Jesus feels

 

As I climbed the staircase

 

My suitcase in my hand

 

The stars around me shone like jewels

 

On a vast and promised land

 

We never claimed perfection

 

It's hard enough to learn

 

Heaven's doors are open wide

 

 

The fires of hell still burn
