lyrics

I was born on the mountaintop
But I was broken on the rocks
As I crawled to the river’s edge
To wash away my sins
All the bones in the valley cried out
All the bones in the valley cried out
“The water won’t cleanse your name”

As the voices were circling
I let the darkness in
As it crawled through my weakened veins
To grant me strength again
All the wolves in the valley cried out
All the wolves in the valley cried out
“The darkness won’t hide your name”

I defied the heavens and the saints
I turned my back on all their wicked ways
And I left only questions in my wake
But all these things saved me from my fate

The horizon was beckoning
Somewhere to begin
This life of destruction
In spite of creation
And my reflection in the water cried out
And my reflection in the water cried out
“I never knew your name”

For I defied the heavens and the saints
I turned my back on all their wicked ways
but I left only questions in my wake
for all these things saved me from my fate
