[Verse 1]
In the belly of the beast
Where the vultures wait
I will sing Hallelujah
Till they all fly away
And in the grey of the morning

And burst into flames
And awaken what's worthy
And erase what I've stained
Like the holes in my life
Where the angels fly
From the broken and ugly
Ways that I've died
Resurrect me, I wanna be
More than half alive
From the belly of the beast
In the heart of the dark
I'll stand on my feet and try
