Steal it, take it, know my name in loving memory Sand it, brand it, in your brain, a forthright eulogy I am but a sinner here, my faults are underlined I have but to hold you near to cleanse the sins of time
I have known you, all too well I have shown you, all too well I have thrilled you, all too well I have filled you, with the sense of what you need to
Speak up, calling my name out Speak up, the shattering of doubt This is where you start With nails run through your heart Leave the name, burned in the brain Leave your mark
Find it, blind it with your light or curse to be alive Will it, kill it in your night, commit yourself to thrive You are but a sinner hear, each breath is now your crime You have but to shed a tear, to wash away the time
I have known you, all too well I have shown you, all too well I have thrilled you, all too well I have filled you, with the sense of what you need to
Speak up, calling my name out Speak up, the shattering of doubt This is where you start With nails run through your heart Leave the name, burned in the brain Leave your mark
Give me your principles, values and hope Or I’ll take them away Not so convincible if you can’t cope Or rise to the day Worn out the morals that lit up the path Now gone to the dark Frayed are the laurels, igniting the wrath They left in the mark Wrap me in darkness, wrap me in light Wrap me in indestructible light
Way down the road it’s better, believe me Way down the road it’s gone (god) Carry the load, it’s harder, believe me Carry it to your dawn (a lightning rod) Way down the road it’s better, believe me Way down the road it’s gone (god) Carry the load, it’s harder, believe me Carry it to your dawn (a lightning rod)
