Eternity
(专辑: When Everything Breaks Open - 2010)
Through the
ages we have lived and died Kings make war and sages prophescied Somewhere between the
first creation and tonight Was a
million incarnations of me myself and I
I
was a
savior in another life With a
white robe flowing in the
morning light I
walked with angels in my darkest plight In the
desert for forty days and forty nights I
was a
tyrant with an angry tongue Who neglected the
old and enslaved the
young It was quiet when I
brought the
air into my lungs And sang the
very first song every sung I'm carrying, the
memory, of these things, inside of me I
greet them with humility They're with me for eternity I'm telling you, with sincerity In what you do and what you be These don't follow you, like you follow me And be with you for eternity I
was a
woman swollen full with child I
was a
healer, Shaman in the
wild I
was the
prosecutor, I
was put on trial I
put forth the
accusation, I
made the
denial I
drank the
blood of Jesus from a
wooden cup I
ate a
bit of heaven then I
spit it up I
caught my brother lying and I
called his bluff I
led the
sheep to slaughter once his time was up Twice I
brought the
masses down, to their knees One time with love, the
next time with greed My childhood aspirations got the
best of me My suicide became the
worlds destiny I'm carrying, the
memory, of these things, inside of me I
greet them with humility They're with me for eternity I'm telling you, with sincerity In what you do and what you be These don't follow you, like they follow me And be with you for eternity I
was a
man with pointer on the
trigger I
brought the
temple down and rebuilt it with one finger I
was the
first singer, to lullaby the
lord to sleep in the
manger I
was the
stranger on the
road to Damascus, Saying turn your eyes to God and you shall receive the
answers Turn your eyes to God and receive the
answers Turn your eyes to God I'm carrying, the
memory, of these things, inside of me I
greet them with humility They're with me for eternity I'm telling you, with sincerity In what you do and what you be These don't follow you, like they follow me And be with you for eternity It's going to be with you for eternity
