Marathon - Gravity's Temptation lyrics

rate me

There is a bridge where my hope stands naked and afraid<br />

Gazing to the falls below<br />

200 feet of gravity's all that separates<br />

From where my faith broke long ago<br />

And it's all I can do<br />

To keep from shouting "jump"<br />

And my dirties thoughts<br />

Are to laugh as I shove him off<br />

And the echoing smack <br />

Will bounce off the gorge's walls<br />

And i'll finally get some sleep<br />

<br />

I'm just one tiny person, where do i begin?<br />

We're fighting a battle I don't think we'll win<br />

I'm tempted to say "Fuck it" and turn my voice in<br />

but that offers no dignity<br />

<br />

So I'll turn my back on that spectacular drop<br />

Wrap my arms around Hope and drag his ass off<br />

While he kicks and he screams I'll just quietly sob<br />

"I still need you here with me"<br />

<br />

'Cause my hope, my hope is the only thing left to cling to<br />

Our hope, our hope is the only thing to get us through<br />

My hope, my hope is the only thing left to cling to
