The Temptation of St.Anthony was a series of trials from supernatural beings that Anthony of Egypt was said to have faced during a pilgrimage in the desert. A book of the same name was written by Gustave Flaubert embellishing these tales of St. Anthony’s trials.
[Verse 1]
My tender carrion, the damage has been done
From the depths of your heart to the tip of my tongue
Not a word you can say can erase memories of that night
That awful night
[Chorus]
It hides behind your eyes, I can feel it in my bones
It's come to tenderize us all tonight with sticks and stones
St. Anthony, this agony, it's eating at my soul
Much like nothing this world has ever known
[Verse 2]
I found a hiding place, not far from here
They'll never find a trace of you and I, my dear
In a world far away we'd pass out from the pain, but not here
We feel it loud and clear
[Chorus]
It hides behind your eyes, I can feel it in my bones
It's come to tenderize us all tonight with sticks and stones
St. Anthony, this agony, it's eating at my soul
Much like nothing this world has ever known
Nothing this world has ever known
[Bridge]
It's over now until it happens again
You haven't lived until you've seen suffering like this
It's over now until it happens again
You haven't lived until you've seen suffering like this
You haven't lived until you've seen suffering like...
[Chorus]
It hides behind your eyes, I can feel it in my bones
It's come to tenderize us all tonight with sticks and stones
St. Anthony, this agony, it's eating at my soul
Much like nothing this world has ever known
Nothing this world has ever known
