Song's on The Best We could Find 1. Under The Blood
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
Album New song |
"Sell a mirage." says The Voice of
The Cunning
button-down yes-men market it well,
"Sell a mirage and the hordes come running."
cheap grace rains like pennies from hell.
In the cool flame flickers some psychopath
stickman
weeping to the cameras
begging for trust.
But the seeds lie here
in a proud heart needing your covering under...
chorus
Under the blood,
under the blood,
a cover under the blood.
Under the blood,
under the blood,
there's a refuge under the blood.
Shutter the room,
There's a light penetrating,
stickmen tremble and cover their eyes.
Shutter this room,
There's a judgment waiting,
cheap grace rains down quite a surprise.
In the stained glass ghetto
There's a hired hand setting up a table
in remembrance of no one at all.
And if I'm that man
could your mercy bring me back
into communion?
chorus 2
Under the blood,
under the blood,
communion under the blood.
Under the blood,
under the blood,
can you reach me?
Under the blood;
there's a light in the hollow.
Under the blood;
where you lead I will follow.
And the blitzkrieg drones,
and the bleeding earth groans,
and your Comforter heals me whispering hope.
You're alive,
in the soul of a sinner,
cover me under...
Under the blood

2. Down Under
Down under
ever wonder how you got in?
Down under
pick a cell you'd like to rot in.
Carlos went from college to a prison suit.
Ivan told his brothers in the fellowship
not to tow the party line.
Now he gets to take a sentimental trip
to a prison mine.
Down under
would you care for bread and water?
Down under
this was daddy's alma mater.
Ain't you yankee jive
ain't no commie plot
I don't lean left or right
I stand on solid rock
We hold this truth to be as dear to life as bread.
People think better
when they don't have a gun at their throat.
Miko looked around and saw her Seol on ice.
Organized a student parade
someone told the state police to shoot on sight
and they all obeyed.
Down under
say the word and we will lock you.
Down under
doctors here will likely shock you.

3. Bouquet
She was the one
Who caught the Bouquet
The best of her best friends wedding day.
She was the one who caught the bouquet,
A token that God must want it that way.
And on the quest for her Mr. Right,
She said, "I do" where the lonely give in.
They were married on the way, and oh,
Nothing is sadder than the words "It might have been."
He was the one,
But promises dull
when Jesus becomes expendable.
Expecting to find
what never was there
But doesn't it still beat solitaire?
She'd heard that time turns desire to love,
And that the Lord had it all in control.
So marry two half people, and oh,
Shouldn't one make the other whole?
Swallowing hard, "Cause you knew better
before"
Desperate for someone to blame.
And does it matter that he's gone again?
There's nothing sadder than the words, "It might have been."
She was the one
the bouquet deceived,
Believer who never could believe.
And now she's the one
who's lonely again,
She's wondering how it might have been.
