Lyrics

In this garden ruin we eat bread of sweat Our children born in pain and still we forget So you looked upon our need and issued the call You sent the best you had, but we killed them all So we trampled heaven's pearls beneath Our feet like it just didn't matter Still the angels ascend and descend Climbing, climbing, climbing Jacob's ladder And so you sent your Son to this world of His And in another garden He's betrayed with a kiss Our sentence carried out We washed our hands like it just didn't matter The lightning flashed, the mountain shook Neath the weight of Jacob's ladder And in the streets we went our separate way And still you sent your invitation And still we walked on by The garden tomb was empty, save for the shroud Someday He will return riding the clouds Someday the sky will fall and we'll shake our fist In the face of disaster By the light of the blood-red moon the angels Will disappear up Jacob's ladder And in the streets we go our separate ways Still you send your invitation And still we walk on by
