Verse 1
C 
Em 
I dreamt a dream
D 
of wildest colors,
of ruthless beauty, of savage charms
C 
Em 
And in  this dream of moon
C 
Em 
-washed fissures
D 
C 
My senses failed me, I felt dishonored
Em 
St. Peter, no Sempiterna, Sempiterna,
A 
Sempiterna,
Em 
Sempiterna, Sempiterna
C 
Em 
C 
Em 
For all my longings and all my losses
D 
Brooded together,
C 
clasped hand in hand
Em 
Discarnate, dreamistic,
C 
Em 
rapacious and fervent
D 
My scattered heartbeat
C 
paced this restless land
Em 
St. Peter knows
A 
Em 
St. Peter knows
A 
D 
And warmest embraces invisibly clad
A 
Unfolded and float like sweet gold wine
D 
In this canopy of darkest enchantment
G 
And silent mysteries and
Em 
kisses wild
C 
G 
Irresistibly feed my orphaned soul,
A 
Suspended in cold, empty time.
Em 
This dream I dreamt,
this touch so desired,
D 
Will never awaken or cease to exist.
C 
Em 
A flame so exquisite,
so rare and exotic
D 
C 
Will never release me, nor can I resist
Em 
A 
St. Peter now
Em 
St. Peter now
C 
Em 
C 
Em 
This endless dream of sweetest caresses
C 
D 
Of passionate beauty
and savage charm
C 
Em 
C 
This gothic dream of deepest enticement
Em 
D 
Plunders my senses
C 
Em 
I am captive, surrender this song
A 
Saint Peter now
Em 
A 
Saint Peter now
Em 
Saint Peter now
