Church - The Time Being lyrics

rate me

Every day<br />

As you notice the sun slips away<br />

A strange turbulence fills the air<br />

Gargoyles and winged monkeys<br />

Descend into the city<br />

Their teeth are bared, their claws outstretched<br />

Down in the pit<br />

I sense the unforgiving night rain down on the overworld<br />

And it's souls' unrest<br />

As the temptation fades out<br />

You jerk back into yourself<br />

As if falling from a dream<br />

Down comes the rain<br />

Hot clear rain<br />

Washing away our sins<br />

Washing away the statues of Sharon Stone<br />

Erosion of my solitude<br />

Begins it's race<br />

And worms finally penetrating the warmth of my hiding place<br />

Slithering in the blackness<br />

All their coldness repels me<br />

I use a .45 to give them some stick<br />

Lightning and thunder cause the walls to shake<br />

And someone searching through the debris<br />

For the photograph of his wife<br />

Oh I want life<br />

I want it now and forever<br />

I want to rise up out of this chamber and clamber into the sky
