A love song you might like to hear, too. It's a bit dark, and zombies are referenced.
Listen here.
A long cry, a bad migraine
A fierce sigh, an eye insane
It doesn't get much better
Than this
Sweaty arms locked with gasping throats
Chest to chest with sensual hopes
A forgotten God crouches
In the darkness, behind us
eyes like embers
Scream my name
Chase me down in the pouring rain
Drag me to the throne of grace
And drown me in the fire
You can't burn away
The killer in the roses that I am
Only God can turn
The lion to a lamb.
Lead me to the cross and hold me while I die.
A cold sword, the written word
A bleeding lord, a prayer unheard
It doesn't get much better than that
Your fevered cries over trembling fists
The only way you can save us
Is this
The forgotten God lies
In the garden of stone
Where you must fight
Scream my name
Chase me down in the pouring rain
Drag me to the throne of grace
And drown me in the fire
You can't burn away
The killer in the roses that I am
Only God can turn the lion to a lamb
Lead me to the cross and hold me while I die
Can you wait that long
From cacophony into song
do you really want to marry
And unfinished story
Do you want to hold an undead hand as yet unfleshed
Ezekiel called the bones to rise
But can your eyes withstand the sight?
Through sickness and in health--will you slice away our demon selves
Wit the sword of word cloven to your bleeding hand by desperate
prayer
Will you wade through the molten rock until our legs become burnished
bronze
Now that you know how I can be
Does it drive us to bended knee
Or will you curl and hide
Do you know our need or do you fall asleep
When we say I do
Are you sure war is for you
Between "fair is fair" and "forgive me there"
I don't want to give you one more chance to go
But before you say you love me
Do you know
How to wield a sword
Scream my name
Chase me down in the pouring rain
Drag me to the throne of grace
And drown me in the fire
You can't burn away
The killer in the roses that I am
Only God can turn
The lion to a lamb
Lead me to the cross and hold me while I die
Forgive me my dear One while I change my leopard spots
I love you--you're the love of my breaking heart And when we make it
to that last kiss
It will be on the breath of God.
Dear Petre Pan,
ReplyDeleteMy favorite melody part and lyric is "Only God can turn the lion to a lamb." Really cool. Thanks for sharing it with us.
