|
<Verse 1>
|
Thumbs out on a desert road,
|
I am told, leads to nowhere.
|
Any shade is as good as the next,
|
If your shadow doesn't go there.
|
|
Week seven: Did you really assume,
|
I'd find some solace from the letter in your room?
|
Next life, could you kindly refrain,
|
From throwing yourself at the mercy of a train?
|
|
<Chorus>
|
Silence all, nobody breathe,
|
How in the world could you just leave?
|
You promised you would,
|
Silence that evil with good.
|
|
Hear me out, I have the floor,
|
I'll give you my tears, I'll listen more.
|
You promised you would,
|
Overcome evil with good.
|
|
<Verse 2>
|
Maybe this world is a barren place for a soul,
|
Prone to get lost.
|
But heaven still hounds from the smallest sounds,
|
To the cries of the storm-tosed.
|
|
Week nine: I am writing in the sand,
|
Any little clue that could help me understand,
|
Every whispered secret, every muffled sigh,
|
Every half-truth that was added to a lie/
|
|
<Chorus 2>
|
Silence all, nobody move,
|
I've got to know now what you hoped to prove.
|
You promised you would,
|
Silence that evil with good.
|
|
Shame feeds guilt, guilt needs release.
|
You took it to God,
|
You made your peace,
|
And swore that you would,
|
Overcome evil with good.
|
|
<Bridge>
|
Every old demon playing back the crime,
|
If they needed blood, I'd have gladly given mine.
|
A Child of the Kingdom; still an invalid.
|
Forgive her, please Father,
|
She don't know what she did.
|
|
<Chorus 3>
|
Silence all, now go to sleep,
|
The water's free, the well is deep.
|
How can we return,
|
That which we never could earn?
|
|
God, I long to see her face,
|
We haven't a hope beyond Your grace.
|
I know that You will, overcome evil,
|
For good.
