The Flood and The Mercy LYRICS thread, Posting them all Options

[Live4Life]

Hey dan, figured i'd just make a lyric thread if that's okay?
So, What are some of your faves?

Im posting copying from the booklets.


SEVEN

Seven gallows on seven hills with seven suns
Seven hangmen sing the dirge and beat the drum
Take my heart away from this place of no return
And set it far from here, in the name of all that's good

How could leave me this way?
It's cold outside, on my knees i pray
How could leave me this way?

The lights are low
Fade into black again..
How could you get me so high just to bring me down into this valley again..
How could you leave me this way?

Seven maidens, seven boats and seven seas
Black wild ocean open up and swallow me
I can't find my way with only stars to be my guide
I surrender now
Evicerate my pride
Could you give me a sign today?
Am i crying here in vain?

The watchmans lament

Why do we sleep tonight why don't we keep the watch?
When the master said we know not
When he comes, when he will come now
Gonna testify to the love, and the light i've been given
But i'm mystifyed by the signs and the things undiscovered
Gonna testify to the love and the light ive been given..
Gonna testify
Why can't we rise again
Why don't we right this wrong
When inside my heart I know...
I am strong , he made me strong now
I guess it's the part of me that believed in her
Hey, we all long to be loved
To be whole again, like a child
