Amen

Lyrics & Info	Tabs	Performances (54)

You're mothers' child  But night lays you down  Hair aflame, wild look in your eye  Naked belly to the ground  A forest fire  Nibbles at your veins  Crawls up your arm  runs away with your mind  And burns dry thoughts like leaves  Amen Eyes stare up  But something's in the way  In the Bible only angels have wings  And the rest must wait to be saved  A dry tongue  Scrams at the sky  But the wind just breathes words in  As a strange bird tries to fly  Amen Pieces of us die everyday  As though our flesh were hell  Such injustice, as children we are told  That from God we fell,  Where are my angels?  Where's my golden one?  Where's my hope  now that my heroes have gone?  Some are being beaten  Some are being born  And some can't tell  the difference anymore  Amen Hallelujah  Hallelujah
