Another Day Passes, Pt. 1

[Matthias and Ashra]
Another day passes where I can't grasp that she's my wife
My love for ash is surpassing the limits of the sky
She, she has no mercy on me
Got me weak in the knees with that gleam in her eye
Another day passes and flowers from our ashes rise

[Matthias and Ashra]
Another day passes, I haven't looked back, no I haven't even tried
I broke the tradition, broke from my prison
He's my religion, my witness, my life
I can finally fly freer than a dove released to the sky
Another day passes and flowers from our ashes rise

[Matthias and Ashra]
Another day passes, we're out in the market, tryna make a living
Flirting with the masses, copper finally crafted
That's when we start the bidding
These, these
How about these?
A shekel or three
Plates for your kitchen
Another day passes, like a matchless gift that keeps on giving

[Matthias]
Uh, sir, can I help you with anything?
You've been holding that flask for the whole time
Sir, are you gonna buy anything
Or just keep lookin' at me with those cold eyes?
Sir, I'm gonna have to ask you to put that back
Can I ask you, why are your hands wrapped?

[Matthias, spoken]
Don't touch me, please stand back
Go, get away!

[Matthias and Ashra]
Matthias?
Yeah?
I think it's time to head back

[Bystander 1 and bystander 2 and bystander 3, spoken]
Leper!
Where?!
Over there!

[Encore and Ashra]
Leper! Leper! Leper!
Matthias, I wanna go home
Leper! Leper! Leper!
Now they are gathering stones
Leper! Leper! Leper!
He's laughing, what game is he playing?
Leper! Leper! Leper!
Matthias, your hands are shaking

[Matthias]
Did you see those cold eyes?
Did you see those cold eyes?

[Matthias]
Before another moment passes, I race to the ocean and I scrub my hands
My heart is pounding so fast, I have to sit down there in the sand
Please, please have mercy on me, a heathen's on his knees, begging for a chance
Please let me be clean as if a leper never touched my hand
