Lower Still şarkı sözleri

Look, he's covered in dirt The blood of his mother Has mixed with the Earth And she's just a child Who's throbbing in pain From the terror of birth By the light of a cave Now they've laid that small baby Where creatures come eat Like a meal for the swine Who have no clue that he is still Holding together the world that they see They don't know just how low he has to go Lower still Look now he's kneeling He's washin' their feet Though they're all filthy fishermen Traitors and theives Now he's pouring his heart out And they're fallin' asleep But he has to go Lower still There is greater love to show Hands to the plow Further down now Blood must flow All these steps are personal All his shame is ransom Oh do you see, do you see just how Low he has come, do you see it now? No one takes from him What he freely gives Away Beat in his face Tear the skin off his back Lower still, lower still Strip off his clothes Make him crawl through the streets Lower still, lower still Hang him like meat On a criminal's tree Lower still, lower still Bury his corpse in the earth Like a seed, like a seed, like a seed Lower still Lower still, lower still, lower still, lower still The earth explodes She cannot hold him! And all therein Is placed beneath him And death itself no longer reigns It cannot keep the ones he gave himself to save And as the universe shatters The darkness disolves He alone will be honored We will bathe in his splendor As all heads bow lower still! All heads bow lower still!
