Holy Water

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Well it's hope, it's hope, that has me staring to the burning sky

I know, i know, there's something hidden, on the other side

I woke, i woke with such a feeling i could never rise

Now i'm gazing skyward till the sun just burned me blind

Burned me blind, burned me blind

Burned me blind, burned me blind

Well, one drank up the holy water hoping for a light

While another slipped a sewing bodkin right inside his eye

And they ran out from the city calling, collecting salts and lye

Crack and crush it, burn it maybe baby, find the god inside

God inside, god inside, yeah

God inside, god inside

We know there's something to which we're blind

'cause it's hope that pulls us forward till we die

Ollie ollie oxen free, come out from where you hide

Tell me, tell me what you want from me, i promise i provide

I'll drink your poison, i'll keep you company, i'll serve you till i die

Come on, crack pandora's box for me, blind me with the light

With the light, with the light, come on

With the light, with the light

Learn the language of our holy fathers retrace their sacred rights

Plot and chart the arc of haley's comet, floating through the night

I drain my blood until my chalky body feels closer to the sky

I dance upon the edge of death just to prove that i'm alive

I'm alive, i'm alive, yeah

I'm alive, i'm alive

We know there's something to which we're blind

'cause it's hope that pulls us forward till we die
