Heat haze rising
|
On hell's own hill
|
|
You wake up this morning
|
It took an act of will
|
You walk through the night
|
To get here today
|
To bring your children
|
To give them away
|
|
Oh... oh this cruel sun
|
Is daylight never done
|
Cruelty just begun
|
To make a shadow of everyone
|
|
And if the rain came
|
And if the rain came
|
|
Souls bent over without a breeze
|
Blankets on burning trees
|
I am sick without disease
|
Nobility on it's knees
|
|
And if the rain came
|
And if the rain came... now
|
Would it wash us all away
|
On a wave of sorrow
|
Wave
|
On a wave of sorrow
|
|
Where now the holy cities?
|
Where the ancient holy scrolls?
|
Where now Emperor Menelek?
|
And the Queen of Sheba's gold
|
|
You're my bride, you wear her crown
|
And on your finger precious stones
|
As every good thing now been sold
|
|
Son, of shepherd boy, now king
|
What wisdom can you bring?
|
What lyric would you sing?
|
Where is the music of the Seraphim?
|
|
And if the rain came
|
And if the rain came... now
|
Would it wash us all away
|
On a wave of sorrow
|
Wave
|
A wave of sorrow
|
Wave.
|
|
Blessed are the meek who scratch in the dirt
|
For they shall inherit what's left of the earth
|
Blessed are the kings who've left their thrones
|
They are buried in this valley of dry bones
|
|
Blessed all of you with an empty heart
|
For you got nothing from which you cannot part
|
Blessed is the ego
|
It's all we got this hour
|
|
Blessed is the voice that speaks truth to power
|
Blessed is the sex worker who sold her body tonight
|
She used what she got
|
To save her children's life
|
|
Blessed are you, the deaf cannot hear a scream
|
Blessed are the stupid who can dream
|
Blessed are the tin canned cardboard slums
|
Blessed is the spirit that overcomes
|
