Destroying to Save 歌词

There's a righteous band that's marching They're beating on drums, and even speak in tounges They're passing plates around Clothed in garments of the sun Bringing the weight of everything to bear They're calling everyone Out to comb the fields for stones Eyes casting for harlots and for heretics, Heels worn down from the road Onstage rocking back and forth The choir's rattling swords, they stomp and shake the boards The rest, they sing along Cheering for a firefight, praying for the end Praisers of oblivion go round a bend Not to be a downer here, but I have my doubts See here a tide and river turned about You, who sought the water's purity Drank deep as the voices of the virtuous rang out, aloft in air Come, and I'll take you outside Walk with me to out beyond the barriers of what is said and known Bones and lodestones might be found On ground that's not sown nor plowed, but opened up Like eyes to sight and sound All around, through all the towns, word spread of a fire A blaze had brought the building down, but who conspired Right out in the daylight, none saw him there The ashen rider on a shadow mare
