Through These Walls

Were you the one who passed
Through these walls
As we took our bath
Were you the one who laughed
Down these halls
As we learned our math
Our mother draped sheets over our heads
Warm lines cross her face
Our father made trees grow from his hands
Dark lines, empty space

One woman
One woman
My love
One Woman
Korea? No.
Antigua? No.
Through it all
One woman
She's alive
She is living
My love
One woman

The Devil Made Me Do It
03:14
|

Devil gonna make me fear? No.
A body's bound to disappear
Swallowed up in the ground
Everything I need is here, home.
Sad ghosts on the window sill
open up, let 'em out
Righteous man gonna preach at me? Well...
I ain't gonna say a word
No stone around my neck
Heaven, I know, is coming near, sure.
But I don't really wanna go right now
I'm only at the start
Crooked man gonna scare my kids? Hm.
We live and die in the promised land
It's not about to change
Devil gonna bother me? No.
I told 'em all they'd better leave
I opened up my mouth

You Alone Know
07:37

Drawn out like a sword
A river running through my fellow man
Into my hands
Blessings
Coming back to break me
Build it tall to cut it down
Give me sight or make me blind
On the ground I get
Feel who created it
In the brook I bathe
Bare, before your gaze
From the summit see
Material that I don't need
I don't need to understand
Every word you speak to me
I don't need to recognize
Every truth, every time
I don't need a bigger noise
All I need is to hear your voice
One dichotic seed
Buried down inside of me
Jaws like a holy war
Claws like a burning sore
It never ends, I'm caught up in
What it'd be like
To lose your love
Building up our sanctuary
In the walls of Babylon
Free my body, heal my mind
Under the surface locked in
Some presupposed history
And all my biggest talking
Won't bring him home, back to me
It's a thin line you're walking on
And I can find fault in anyone
So, watch what you say
Watch what you say
I thought I'd be much stronger
As my hair is getting longer
My Pillar of Wisdom
Pillar of Wisdom
The world under water
Slowly lifts us to the Father
But time is not my own
Time is not my own
I know it's freedom that's been given
From the curses that we've lived in
Remind me Your Name
Remind me Your Name
Yes, it's foolish what I'm saying
You should hear what I've been praying
For any other way
Any other way
Deliver me, Deliverer
Good Spirit, come, Good Giver
What wonder is this universe!
In every heart unending worlds
You know
You alone know

Who Is He, Anyway?
03:54
|
|||
Sleeping in the bow
We all want to know how
You're not afraid
Of the down pouring rain
We're casting out our lots
You should call on your god
Who is he, anyway?
We know you've been running
And stowing away
But our ship is sinking
Somebody better pay
He said, "The Lord is my God
He created me
The wind in the trees
The waves on the seas
And all things beneath them
Yes, I am the guilty one
Cast it all on me"
As we gave him up to the deep
You know, it's a funny thing
The sky became clear
And it filled me with fear
Who's this God that He hears us?
What I could not conceive
Now I've seen and believed it

Spirit softly settle
In the belly of your temple
Seeping out into every channel
Here it comes
Winding through the grasses
As the cool of evening passes
Oh, my God! What have we been up to?
Hide me from You
When the shadow swept up over me
Deep into the veil I could see
Swear I saw a sign of seven stars
In Your hand, where I want to be
Now, visions fill our eyes like summer rain
The earth we knew I know will be re-made
Here is skin and bone and blood and veins
Break the seal, never be afraid again
Wild, wicked wind
Whirring and whistling
Be still and listen
See, be not blind
All is unwinding
Perfect in timing
How? I don't know
Spoken in secret
Never repeated
Look, all around
What's gonna happen?
I can't imagine
Eyes, open wide
Lamps dimming slowly
Suddenly glowing
New, all things new
I'm gonna see it
I know it! (I feel it, too)
