Benjamin Blower - In Memory Of The Woman At Bethany текст песни

The sun turned dark at noon and th moon turned red
The Mediteranian gave up its dead jellyfish
and the campfires burned
A third of the stars fell down to the earth
I saw the city and I wept for her
as I watched her give birth to her own misery

And the whole world is made of concrete and steel
And the sun only sets on the days when it rises
For as long as I've been alive no one's ever looked into my eyes
for fear of seeing the truth about me in my irises
I think you and I both know we've been had
so we look from side to side trying to find out who the liar is
But we'll never look into each other's eyes
for fear of seeing the image of God and falling in love with it
And the whole world is made of beauty and corruption
The wonder of perfection is for now lost on all of us
I'm terrified of love, because love is afraid of nothing
He has the will to do what nobody else does
The trees grow tall and we all reach for the skies
The leaves fall in all their different colours and sizes
No one ever looks anyone in the eyes
for fear of really knowing each other
for fear of what that might cost us

On the floor
You cleaned my feet
I'll clean yours with my tears
And all the liars and the cheats will be washed away
I'm the whore
You cleaned my feet
I'll clean yours with my tears
And all the liars and the cheats will be washed away

Please
I love you
Wake up
Don't die
Please
I love you
Wake up
Don't die
An eye for an eye and a life for a life
I'd go under the knife to see you waking up alive again
Your lips have gone blue and your blood is all spent baby
Your hearts gone as black as the devil inside your chest
I'd slit my wrists and give blood through a drip into your veins
O please baby just open your eyes again
O please heart beat again
O please lungs breathe again
O please voice say my name
O please heart beat again
O please lungs breathe again
O please darling speak to me

On the floor
You cleaned my feet
I'll clean yours with my tears
And all the liars and the cheats will be washed away
I'm the whore
You cleaned my feet
I'll clean yours with my tears
And all the liars and the cheats will be washed away
In all the clubs
On all the streets
The dead will sing, "Hallellujah!"
And we will cry at Your feet
at Bethany
