Lyrics

The Darkness feels a little closer now I sold my stock in truth for a broken bottle The burden bares a child near the wailing well With one foot in the heavens and one where the angels fell I'm gonna climb that mountain I'm gonna finally be free I'm gonna sing those hallelujahs when the devil torments me Because the fire's burning brighter when your hands are close to mine Yes I know the lord is willing cause the son has always shined And what are nails in your hands I've got nails in my eyes I've got a sister who sees ghosts in the middle of the night Said you keep me with a lantern but you kept me by a knife And all you priests just surrender all the money you've tendered From blinds sons and the king's money lenders From sickle cell kids who needed a mender Yes I've got this love No you cannot take it I've got this place for me! I need a lord who doesn't let babies burn in the hands of a man With the face of fatalist I need a star that will let people learn on their own Then all the gods will have hearts for their thrones Their courage and kindness will act as a catalyst To stitch the bad dreams and seams of the rocks that were torn
