Romance Me

(álbum: Southern Hospitality - 2008)

[Romans 8:19-25]

Is solace a hopeless crusade
The grandeur of a raping plague
A portrait that is best forgotten
Bed of fire for the dying orphans
Is there a bridge for the endless mote?
A river for the arid throat?
A sun for the winter flower?
A knight in the weeping hour? [Romans 7:24]

The poison sails on ships with pain my veins have never known
My eyes have seen the glory of the antidote [Numbers 21:6-9, John 3:14-15]

A love lifted, the curse has left its birthplace [Deuteronomy 28:15-68, Galatians 3:13, Romans 5:12-18]
Romance me [Romans 5:8], Ransom me [1 Peter 1:18-20]
A love lifted, in paradise remember me [Luke 23:40-43]
Romance me, Ransom me

The idol that birthed betrayal [Genesis 3:1-19]
Where eulogies have littered the trail
A song that is sung with a forked tongue
Blackballed by the angels
And we're dropping like flies
An assault to the eyes
Spraying death in every direction
This infection's a torrential tide [Romans 5:12]

Amazing, sweet mercy, romance me, ransom me [Titus 3:4-5]
