As the rain settles down, a stream forms
It flows through your feet
Leads you down, through the hill
To a gate filled with rust
It is delicate and weak
On the other side, the stream thickens
Now there's treacle on the bank
On the other side, the stream thickens
Now there's treacle on the bank
The water led you to a cave
There's markings on the wall
They speak of thе messiah child
That would stumble through their door
Each story seems to bе the same
There's a flood and then he comes
That messiah ends the famine days
When he comes
You can love me when I'm dead
And you will smile as I fall
Now my bones they fill with lead, I'm yours
In the cave a fire burns, men gather
Now they're kissing the floor
In coloured robes they join the line
To bid farewell to the life they knew before
The piece of rock on which you lie splinters
As your leg shakes with fear
A single pebble, hits the floor, reverberates
Now they know you are near
Their water led you to a cave
Your face is on their shrine
Now you're the sacred sacrifice
Your blood to them is divine
You can love me when I'm dead
And you will smile as I fall
Now my bones they fill with lead, I'm yours
It flows through your feet
Leads you down, through the hill
To a gate filled with rust
It is delicate and weak
On the other side, the stream thickens
Now there's treacle on the bank
On the other side, the stream thickens
Now there's treacle on the bank
The water led you to a cave
There's markings on the wall
They speak of thе messiah child
That would stumble through their door
Each story seems to bе the same
There's a flood and then he comes
That messiah ends the famine days
When he comes
You can love me when I'm dead
And you will smile as I fall
Now my bones they fill with lead, I'm yours
In the cave a fire burns, men gather
Now they're kissing the floor
In coloured robes they join the line
To bid farewell to the life they knew before
The piece of rock on which you lie splinters
As your leg shakes with fear
A single pebble, hits the floor, reverberates
Now they know you are near
Their water led you to a cave
Your face is on their shrine
Now you're the sacred sacrifice
Your blood to them is divine
You can love me when I'm dead
And you will smile as I fall
Now my bones they fill with lead, I'm yours
