Nine

I need some answers!
I need reasons to believe
You signed your name on this
And threw me overboard
You always were my solid rock
Unwavering foundation
Ball-and-chain on my ankle
It’s pulling me under the tide
Hot stone in cold water
It gathers sons and daughters
O father, let walls come crashing down now
The walls then start bleeding
And solomon is singing
He’s singing, oh but you got the words all
Wrong
This time, she’ll make him proud
To be the enemy
Lock himself in cell
And throw away the key
He’ll bow before the God
But God, he can’t come clean
And that’s just how it is
That’s how it’s gonna be
I got some answers
I got reasons to believe
(I’ve got no reason to believe!)
You got your head up in the clouds
And your feet caught in the window
We’ll burn right up unless we pay for sins
And set your world on fire
Pack your hopes and dreams and aspirations
Come and kiss the Sun and then run
They started a fire
Built to burn all inspired
Inspired by all buy complacency
Witch trial in misplay
She burned for him
And he looked away
Turned and whispered
You gotta learn somehow
This time, she’ll make him proud
To be the enemy
Lock himself in cell
And throw away the key
He’ll bow before the God
But God, he can’t come clean
And that’s just how it is
That’s how it’s gonna be
This time, she’ll make him
Proud to be the enemy
He’ll bow before the God
But he’s got no reason to believe
Oh father, I just wanted to
Let you know
You might be running from the bush
But I haven’t lost my hope
So, when you turn your back
And head for the road
Just know that I forgive you
But, she won’t
(But, she won’t!)
This time, she’ll make him proud
To be the enemy
He’ll bow before the God
He’ll bow before the God!
This time, she’ll make him proud
To be the enemy
Lock himself in cell
And throw away the key
But God, he can’t come clean
And that’s just how it is
That’s how it’s gonna be
This time, she’ll make him
Proud to be the enemy
He’ll bow before the God
But he’s got no reason to believe
