Amen (Live)

Your mother's child

But night lays you down

Hair aflame, wild look in your eyes

Naked belly to the ground

A forest fire

Nibbles at your veins

Crawls up your arm

Runs away with your mind

And burns dry thoughts like leaves

Amen

Eyes stare up

But something's in the way

Such an injustice, as children we are told

That from God we fell

A dry tongue

Screams at the sky

But the wind just breathes words in

As a strange bird tries to fly

Amen

Pieces of us die every day

As though your flesh were hell

In the Bible only angels have wings

And the rest must wait to be saved

Where are my angels?

Where's my golden one?

Where is my hope

Now that my heroes have gone?

Some are being beaten

Some are being born

And some can't tell

The difference anymore

Amen, amen, amen

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Thank you very much for coming

I appreciate it, I'll see you later

Oh yeah, wait, stop, wait

I forgot to tell you that every time a piece of beauty is failed to be noticed

A little light goes out somewhere

And that could be you some day

And also that at any cost you should always get perfect moments stuck between your teeth

Thanks
