forty days
and those forty nights
its where we praised the water buffalo
on my knees i've been bleeding dry
straight through the dust
this is ours.
I heard you were a courageos man
I heard you abondoned your flesh
while planting seeds of truth and stolen grace
and your spice has aroused my mind
and has left me alone wanting more
i think we are gone
i think we are gone
i see the beating of your heart
i see its brighter than the stars
i see the beating of your heart
i see the beating your stars
i see
let me tell you that were all about to crumble down down
and were all just getting older
in the union of your praying hands
have already parted
i think we are gone
i think we are gone
i heard you were courageous man
