Give Me a Place To Stand And I Will Move The Earth

Widened eyes why the look of startled surprise
following what's become of a sad sense of hope and your moaning of faith
sickened words of sadder days a glorious fate
trust not what we've come to make of the truth
waking to the walls closing in around you
bright and bold are the fires we've set after you

the grasp has been released from the god aweful hand
as an aching will rise in the bones when will I need you

Dig down in the sand tell us son what you've found in your hand
you hold the ghost of your lost and broken soul
tell us of its faith we will need to know for the plans to be made
what's come of your love?
will you know now what you've done until you see her?

Me and my love
we can't see straight

as we walk through a wood to a clearing of light
where the moonlight lets in all the creatures that stir there in the night
I have followed you if only to show you what we reap we will not sew
fading grey
as the trouble will come and go
fading grey
I have followed you if only to show you that an aching rises in bones

love of mine i have to tell you were out of time
the hell that has wrought us will soon reprise
and leave our souls knowing life is pain until death closes our eyes
