Biography:
MATT WALTERS is a passionate believer in songs, the power they wield and the life experience that makes them tick.
His musical awakening was early and profound: a young teenager quietly galvanised by a master craftsman casting his spell at some long-ago folk festival. Matt's innate musicality and storyteller's instinct were inflamed and his future career as a singer-songwriter sealed.
His debut album FAREWELL YOUTH is out NOW.

Em D C
So time has reached its tireless goal
C D Em
Ahead outstretched my path unfolds
Em D C
Down into the depths of hell
C D Em
I've seen enough, I might as well
Through the circles of fire and stone
To the castle of blood and bone
Lucifer in all his power
Awaits me in my judgment hour
Em D C
Believe right now it's not too late
C D Em
I'll meet you at St Peter's Gate
Into the forest I begin
Where the beasts feast on skin
The brittle leaves are black not green
The mark of St Augustine
I meet them here, the poets in men
And the crimes for which they can't defend
They say "eternity can't be that bad
I've lost every love I've ever had"
Believe right now it's not too late
I'll meet you at St Peter's Gate
To sea, the blood of sin
We shed our rags and dive right in
And sink beneath the waves of fire
And feel our innocence expire
For I've done more wrong than I've done right
I saw the darkness devour the light
You cannot save this weary soul
Your every deed will take its toll
Believe right now it's not too late
I'll meet you at St Peter's Gate
How can I just accept this fate
I'll meet you at St Peter's Gate
Ahead the castle's fiery moat
We're seeing all the lost souls float
Across the bridge of tangled bones
Into a world the darkness owns
