lyrics

I don't know what to say
sons will rise in unison to wake our fathers
kill the lamb,speak in tongues
shedding blood like martyrs to please our fathers
who said I can't be your savior?
and I can't help the way I feel
when the tides bring nothing but fear
trusting everything and everyone
I'm lost in thought
I can see their broken wings and shattered thrones
their broken homes
who said I can't be your savior?
I don't know what to say
our bodies unbound
(but the wolves are too close)
our flesh in a mess of wires
kill the lamb speak in tongues
my hands built a shelter
(but the wolves are too close)
our flesh in a mess of wires
we put our faith in power hungry men
and oh how the earth shakes when we strike with heavy hands
now we're talking in circles
we're waiting for the masses to pull us from the wreckage
the veil of truth unwinding our fathers' words are binding
in the arms of another
blood is thicker than water
we'll be under the covers
