Bear Witness

01 Jan 2002

The writing’s not just on the wall it’s in the dirt
And stones are everywhere for angry hands
They’re feeding the lions to the Christians this time
And the gates of Eden have been closed to man

We bear witness when we are sleeping
We bear witness with every waking thought
We bear witness and though I am not my father's son
We bear witness to the works of our God

Hanoi Jane tells me there’s nothing left to lose
Principle in trade for capital
The Pied Piper is refusing to post bond
And there’s dancing ‘round the bonfires of war

CHORUS

Demons bearing crosses and angels bearing arms
A pile of shit is not a diamond mine
You say your health is bearing up but I am bearing down
And if you hear the word you are mine

CHORUS
