With pale and ghostly flames
But some still dream of light
So the sun will rise again
And cure our need for wrongs
In cool and measured crime
And learn to drift in palm
In our hearts and in our minds
And let us not be faithless
For you will meet our needs
A good and gracious wordless
Will lamp unto our feet
For years we've closed our eyes
While rust on reason grows
And we feed and clothe our lies
But in our hearts we know, yeah we know
That wisdom lends us all
A cool and steady hand
And the steel pressed to my palm
Doesn't make me more a man
And courage for the givers
To do what must be done
To deal out truth and justice
With swift and silver guns
For years you met our thirst
Still deserts we have roamed
Well be done with dust and dirt
When the ocean calls us home
And well fall into the arms
Of a cool and sweet embrace
Under stars and waving palms
Well she'd our sin like snakes
And time will cease to stalk us
And death will be undone
But well shine with the light of
A thousand blazing suns
For years we fought the night With pale and ghostly flames But some still dream of light So the sun will rise again And cure our need for wrongs In cool and measured crime And learn to drift in palm In our hearts and in our minds And let us not be faithless For you will meet our needs A good and gracious wordless Will lamp unto our feet For years we've closed our eyes While rust on reason grows And we feed and clothe our lies But in our hearts we know, yeah we know That wisdom lends us all A cool and steady hand And the steel pressed to my palm Doesn't make me more a man And courage for the givers To do what must be done To deal out truth and justice With swift and silver guns For years you met our thirst Still deserts we have roamed Well be done with dust and dirt When the ocean calls us home And well fall into the arms Of a cool and sweet embrace Under stars and waving palms Well she'd our sin like snakes And time will cease to stalk us And death will be undone But well shine with the light of A thousand blazing suns Explain Request ×
