The love is gone where I belong
The earth below my feet
Cracks and shakes as I question
What it all means
Forsake my name and curse the day
You brought me to be
The river bends, but never ends
My life is incomplete.
I beg the night to end
This is hallowed ground, my friend
Watch the faith leave my bones
I practice what I preach
I spread the words like a plague
They send their lives to me
The dirt and dust fill my lungs
The people start to see
My method reigns for countless days
I try to set them free.
I beg the night to end
This is hallowed ground, my friend.
The love is gone where I belong
The earth below my feet
Cracks and shakes as I question
What it all means
Forsake my name and curse the day
You brought me to be
The river bends, but never ends
My life is incomplete.
The covered tracks inside the Jacks
To put my mind to rest
Leave me alone, with tired bones
We try to fix our mess.
I beg the night to end
This is hallowed groud, my friend.
