lyrics

I will lie awake at night
Till I can tell you all what’s right
Like a prophet from on high
And I shall name the blest
And I only bear witness

I will lie upon the sands
I will lay flat both my hands
Claim the skies and claim the lands
And I shall name the blest
And I only bear witness

I will burn here with the fire
Of the saints and of the liars
I’ll pour oil upon their pyres
And I shall name the blest
And I only bear witness

And I shall whisper in the halls
Behind the doors, behind the walls
Of every throne who’ll hear my call
And I shall name the blest
And I only bear witness

I shall whisper through their sighs
Lead the poor and lead the blind
Let them claim the killing time
And I shall name the blest
And I only bear witness
