lyrics

We were waiting for an act of God
When an angel came
With blazing sirens and a hundred eyes, all red with flames
Signaling the end had finally come
An end that we so longed for

Dream-haunted, I lead the way
Just leave the bodies down where the lay
Brave crosses and promised lands
Bloody streams, soft clay, and sand
Shooting stars every night
They don't mean a thing if we don't see the city lights
But we could be there this time next year
And then they'll take on a new life

Disbelievers were everywhere, I could feel them stare
They snicker silently as I walk by, but I don't care
Cause the rain has finally come
A rain that we so longed for

Dream-haunted, I lead the way
Just leave the bodies down where they lay
Brave crosses and promised lands
Bloody streams, soft clay, and sand
Surround! Surround!
Let's lay siege to this town, then burn it down to the ground
I swear, I saw it this way
Let the horns sound!
The song played clear from the clouds
And then the thunder pounds
Do you still think that I am sane?
Or will you make me a slave?
Or will I turn into a saint?

You'll try to burn me alive, but I'll walk through your wall of fire
