Lyrics

Wilderness (Live at The Factory)

[Verse 1]

I traveled far and wide through dissertation pleas

What did you see there?

I saw the saints with their toys

What did you see there?

I saw all knowledge destroyed

[Chorus]

I traveled far and wide through many different times

[Verse 2]

I traveled far and wide through prisons of the cross

What did you see there?

The power and glory of sin

What did you see there?

The blood of Christ on their skins

[Chorus]

I traveled far and wide through many different times

[Verse 3]

I traveled far and wide and unknown martyrs died

What did you see there?

I saw the one sided trials

What did you see there?

I saw the tears as they cried

[Outro]

They had tears in their eyes

Tears in their eyes

Tears in their eyes

Tears in their eyes
