Lyrics The Man Who Swallowed My Soul - Persephone

The Man Who Swallowed My Soul

He looked like a young man
But his eyes were old
He touched me gently
But his hands were cold
My hands are cold
His voice was calm
But he was hunting for prey
I started feeling dizzy
And he watched me sway
I watched you sway
He stared at me with eyes black as coal
The man who swallowed my soul
The morning air
And the sunlight he stole
The man who swallowed my soul
He kissed my cheeks
My eyebrows, my neck
I followed him blindly
There was no turning back
There’s no turning back
He sucked the lifeblood
Out of my veins
Left me and my nightgown
Covered with stains
Covered with stains
He said his kiss would make me whole
The man who swallowed my soul
The breath of life
From my lips he stole
The man who swallowed my soul
He stared at me with eyes black as coal
The man who swallowed my soul
The morning air
And the sunlight he stole
The man who swallowed my soul
He said his kiss would make me whole
The man who swallowed my soul
The breath of life
From my lips he stole
The man who swallowed my soul
The man who swallowed my soul
