Steal it, take it, know my name in loving memory |
|
Sand it, brand it, in your brain, a forthright eulogy |
|
I am but a sinner here, my faults are underlined |
|
I have but to hold you near to cleanse the sins of time |
|
I have known you, all too well |
|
I have shown you, all too well |
|
I have thrilled you, all too well |
|
I have filled you, with the sense of what you need to |
|
Speak up, calling my name out |
|
Speak up, the shattering of doubt |
|
This is where you start |
|
With nails run through your heart |
|
Leave the name, burned in the brain |
|
Leave your mark |
|
Find it, blind it with your light or curse to be alive |
|
Will it, kill it in your night, commit yourself to thrive |
|
You are but a sinner hear, each breath is now your crime |
|
You have but to shed a tear, to wash away the time |
|
I have known you, all too well |
|
I have shown you, all too well |
|
I have thrilled you, all too well |
|
I have filled you, with the sense of what you need to |
|
Speak up, calling my name out |
|
Speak up, the shattering of doubt |
|
This is where you start |
|
With nails run through your heart |
|
Leave the name, burned in the brain |
|
Leave your mark |
|
Give me your principles, values and hope |
|
Or I'll take them away |
|
Not so convincible if you can't cope |
|
Or rise to the day |
|
Worn out the morals that lit up the path |
|
Now gone to the dark |
|
Frayed are the laurels, igniting the wrath |
|
They left in the mark |
|
Wrap me in darkness, wrap me in light |
|
Wrap me in indestructible light |
|
Way down the road it's better, believe me |
|
Way down the road it's gone (god) |
|
Carry the load, it's harder, believe me |
|
Carry it to your dawn (a lightning rod) |
|
Way down the road it's better, believe me |
|
Way down the road it's gone (god) |
|
Carry the load, it's harder, believe me |
|
Carry it to your dawn (a lightning rod) |
