Gethsemane (Live)

I'ma walking down the tracks, I’ve got tears in my eyes

Trying to read a letter from my home

If that train runs right, I'd be home tomorrow night

'Cause I’m 900 miles from my home

And I'd hate to see that lonesome whistle blow

[Part I]

[Verse 1]

It promised me a good life if I followed all its wishes

I never missed a prayer and I always did the dishes

What's beautiful is good, but what's that blood along the ridges?

What is that for?

[Refrain]

Tabernacle

Tabernacle

Tabernacle

Tabernacle

[Verse 2]

Stones of white prеserve the words unspеakable for ages

It's not a place of honor or esteemed deed commemorated

What's left inside is what's evolved from what we have forsaken

Check the black box

[Refrain]

Tabernacle

Tabernacle

Tabernacle

Tabernacle

[Verse 3]

You puke and spit and beat your fists against it, but it's unshaken (Atargatis)

There’s nothing left to offer to restore what has been taken

Your body is a temple, but your holy wounds are aching

Leave the fat off

[Refrain]

Tabernacle

Tabernacle

Tabernacle

Tabernacle

[Part II]

[Verse 4]

I can do whatever will let me off if I want to

You’re only wearing my skin

I can do whatever will let me off if I want to

Now that i'm wearing your skin

[Chorus]

It’s just a night in your life

Maybe there's something to take the edge off

This is the beat of your electric heart

Cracklelacklelai, and you will be calm

[Verse 5]

You can dial 911 if you need to

I can't put out every fire

You can call the lord of hosts if you need to

[Chorus]

This is just a lie in your life

Everybody starts out curious

Is there no king behind these walls?

Cracklelacklelai, and I will not fall

[Part III]

[Verse 6]

Radio tower neck speaks with the accent of my stomach

Early morning birds call with some generator running

A series of simple patterns slowly build themselves into another song

I don't know how it happened

[Verse 7]

In the false dawn everything is dreamlike and unreal

Somewhere on the periphery is a nightmare I still feel

The fireplace is flickering, black-eyed bull is speaking by the bed

[Chorus]

You can love again if you try again

You can love again if you try again

You can love again if you try again

You can love again if you try again

You can love again if you try again

[Verse 8]

Waves wash up the puzzle pieces of high school dioramas

Gifts for your nephew’s birthday bring up scenes of childhood trauma

Magic eye clicks into focus, it's something you'd give your right eye to unsee

Is this the only way forward?

[Verse 9]

I've called to you a thousand times to take away this cup

But there will be no miracle 'til the ransom's added up

Just tell me what you want from me

Tell me what would make it be enough

[Chorus]

You can love again if you try again

You can love again if you try again

You can love again if you try again

You can love again if you try again

You can love again if you try again

[Post-Chorus]

Now you got me as I was born

Feel my heartbeat between your horns

What comes next, beloved pet?

I'll be patient waiting for the time to come

To be opened up, helpless and undone

[Bridge]

I can't run anymore

I can't run anymore

I can't run anymore

I can't run anymore

I can't run anymore

[Verse 10]

I lay me down again to sleep

Another soul must be redeemed

Hidden behind a thousand eyes

A hostage heart, a scrap of light

The naked priest, the introvert

The millionaire, conspirator

Misshapen soul, rotten wheat

Like war horns, a constant feed

[Outro]

You can love again if you try again

You can love again if you try again

You can love again if you try again

You can love again if you try again

You can love again if you try again

You can love again if you try again

You can love again if you try again

You can love, you can love, you can love, you can love

You can love

If you try

You can love
