Laying the song to rest Waiting for the light A sorrow to confess The virtue of the Bride Behold the war is yet to come The battlefield is overrun The leaders lead the liars home But I am on your side I feel your every cry And I will see the day is done No need to distress Shaking in the cold Find a place to rest This song will feed your soul And I have seen the battle won A dawning of the chosen ones Below the bruised and dying sun But I am on your side I feel the shame you hide And I will see the day is done Oh Lord below this tide A fever still grows inside When all is said and done With my needle and my gun I still take the long way home And I believe in only one The poison and the damage done Has bruised my heart - has made me numb And I cling to your side As the world begins to slide And I'm down on my knees Will you sing that song to me Will you sing that song to me Will you keep that song alive in me
