lyrics

Feeling empty, and dawn refuse to come
Can’t force the sun to rise, don’t wanna speed oblivion
Cold dark morning, and you’re the only truth
I wake alone again, that ought to be enough proof

Dedication, don’t seem to cut it no more
I got my hammer, I got my arms, but I got nothing to use ‘em for
The light of desire, it turned the whole crop bad
I’ve gotta fight to let go of things I never even had

Salvation, gimme sweet salvation
My body is a temple built out of rotten beams
Salvation, gimme sweet salvation
They say I’m staring at the truth but I don’t know what it means

Winter settles in, it’s long from over yet
The language of the shadow is spoken, on the streets - empty and wet
The season is a requiem, another year come and gone
Pried right outta my tight clenched fists, ain’t no one that strong.

And I feel blind while meaning slips away
I lean in for a closer look but the detail’s all gone gray
I am only a man, drunk on the burden of eternity
Like my father and his father before, I only dream about being free

Salvation, gimme sweet salvation
Faith is the hammer that’ll crush this heart of stone
Salvation, gimme sweet salvation
I’m willing to ask for your hand, I can’t do it alone

I don’t believe in no miracle cure
All I ask is that you ease the pain
I don’t pretend my intentions are pure
Please don’t let me struggle in vain

I’m lying in bed with your name upon my breath
I’ve been sleeping for years and years without a single night’s rest
But I’m coming home, if there’s even such a thing
And when I reach those open arms, I’m gonna drop to my knees and sing

Salvation, I want sweet salvation
Grant me the patience of a single grain of sand
Salvation, gimme sweet salvation
I wanna wake up and realize I been living in the Promised Land
