Lyrics
Lesser Things
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.
It looks a lot like givin'up
Peace we bring is a bitter cup
Set our bodies down like offerings
While why pray to the god of the lesser things
If the wind should shake this house apart
The cradle hits the ground whit a broken heart
Will we say we never knew a thing?
While we pray to the god of the lesser things
Is there grace for a wayward heart
Is there grace for a wayward heart
Grace,grace
Ash to ash and dust to dust
Steel on steel or rain to rust
What mortal breath blood money brings
Forth from the altar of the lesser things
