Halo

Was it blood, or was it rain, That had filled the earth with slain For violence had laid claim to every man's name For who on earth was watching When heaven fell to hell For alas, I have been trapped In the belly of the whale And who on earth was listening When the churchyard rang her bells I have covered up thy graves And stopped up every well Was it blood, or were they tears, That had fallen from fear For the bitter would be sweet If a hope would draw near But who on earth was touching When Thomas stayed his hand What measure of belief Could unmake the man I am And who on earth was speaking When the speachless had been damned Oh, I bathe beneath the blood Of every sacrificial lamb Why have all the good things gone away to dreams For my flesh is left with scars that tear apart at every seam Set fire to all the forests and cut down every tree Doth thou not see we're wounded and fallen on our knees There's a scab on my head from the halo that fled When the childlike angel had left me for dead Who's gonna tuck me into my bed Who's gonna tuck me in I've been measured I've been weighed I've been found wanting Unworthy of your grace
