The Chariot
Album • 2007
This is the last chance you got (open wide) We both know we're both gonna die There's a difference with you and I You want peace but refuse the fight So shake hands with change tonight Bathe in armor For death feeds Bathe in armor For death feeds Oh death, don't bother me tonight Be grace, oh my God (stand still) Be grace, oh my God (stand still) Be grace, oh my God (stand still) Be grace, oh my God (stand still) Churches have nuns Cowboys got guns And everyone's waiting to die

Can't stop the race People moving in place Running a crooked path Place to place to place (Paved in gold) The chords from which we hang (Paved in gold) Weaken everyday (Paved in gold) They beg for strength (Paved in gold) But they are blessed by our blade Questions on our minds Buildings on the rise Diamonds instead of our eyes Corporate fights Oh busy, busy bees Walking to and from What if we close our eyes? What if we can't wake up? I hope you all rest in peace I hope you find what you're looking for But if that is all you got Well then there's got to be more They lay carpet that's made of red And so we walk paths made of gold, yes But we're blind Way past the nose In this tree covered earth Yes, that's right Can we disappear from all we got? Can we disappear from all we got? Can we disappear from all we got? We are scattered on God's grace But we are a drip We are a flash We are a mist We are a speck But we got time A flash, drip, speck, mist A flash, drip, speck, mist

Well, she's waking up And she's finding out she has no pulse Just like her God That she is trying to sell But she ain't bought Her lion is scared Because he's finding out She's waking up And he can't stop breaking down And fading out as she gets up Well, she's lookin' around "Ariel, you have no pulse Much like your religion But it's fine Just fake it." (Fake it, just fake it) Just fake it (Just fake it, just, just fake it) Just fake it (Just fake it) Just fake it The wrath of God's grace is but an ocean to a child

Embrace, reaction, reaction, we ain't God But here he comes Destiny's real, and she comes with a smile Passing by your grave, pass (Plague, plague) Reach the plague (Plague, plague) Reach the plague (Plague, plague) Reach the plague (Plague, plague) Reach the plague Black plague Black plague Black plague Black plague In this city that never sleeps, and wakes up swinging Reach (the plague) We (will paint) We (will paint) Red (stay calm) And we'll paint the rivers red, it's fate Shake hands (shake hands) And (with fate) Shake (and with fate) Hands (shake hands) Because they sing the same songs, and they just keep singing Shake hands (shake hands) And (with fate) Shake (and with fate) Hands (shake hands) And up above, every storm is the day Shake hands (shake hands) And (with fate) Shake (and with fate) Hands (shake hands) How happy is every child of grace, who feels his sins forgiven This world, he cries, is not my place I seek a place in heaven A country far from mortal sight, yet oh, by faith I see! The land of rest, the saint's delight, a heaven prepared for me Oh, what a blessed hope is ours while here on earth we stay We more than taste the heavenly powers and antedate that day We feel the resurrection near Our life in Christ concealed and with his glorious presence here our earthen vessels filled

Place: this is where The giants roam And their horses stand so tall And their fists engaged And fingers bent Back to the palm Except one And you ain't seen nothing yet And you ain't seen nothing yet All of my judges burn From their gunshot eyes A direct line That travels at the speed of light Into my heart, into my mind I read between the lions. The forest grows It grows from their eyes I was not placed upon the grass Of this ever-fading earth For a standing ovation And its romance I was placed for the warning So heed the warning And they cannot look away For if they do And cross paths with a wall That reflects all it sees And it shows the truth Shows the fake Shows the past Shows all of the mistakes And it shows Everything That they refuse to see 'Cause if there's blood on the roots Then there's blood on the branches Blood on the roots Then there's blood on the branches Blood on the roots Blood on the branches Blood on the roots Blood on the branches

How can I smile While the vampires sing? I must confess Sometimes, I live up in a tree Blessed by a ghost With an open arm And a steady hand For redemption I forget that Winter comes With a deadline And then she's gone Cold air cage opened up Resurrected, dark angel Then the conversation Gets placed Once again Underneath my brain And up in front of my mouth Technology Well, she takes a walk And she's so proud The catalysts include A microphone and A highway of wires Misused and Well they're taken for granted Misused and taken for granted How can I smile While the vampires sing? I must confess Sometimes, I live and dream Blessed by a ghost With an open arm And a steady hand For redemption

(I dunno, I guess, it's just like something I've always done, it's like...) Fight, Priest, fight Take pictures Make alright what we've lost (Pictures) And give pride back to the ground (Pictures) Fight, Priest (Pictures) Take pictures (Pictures) You've got all you want But all you've got is a wreck Everyone in this whole wide world Wake up (panic) Everyone in this whole wide world Wake up (panic) Fortune wears a red dress But her bones smell of death Fortune wears a red dress But her bones smell of death (Panic) They all stare (Panic) but no one seeks (Panic) They all claim (Panic) but no one speaks (Panic)They all hear (Panic) what they want (Panic) Preacher (Panic) Preacher (Panic) Preacher (Panic) Preacher (Panic) Preacher (Panic) Preacher Beware of these sheep In the costume of wolves For lies, they come in pairs of two And we only die twice But for such a very long time And just because you kiss a lot Don't mean you're in love And just because you've begun Don't mean you've won I was a second child I was not born but just once And all my friends were gray They all close the door Because no one speaks out loud They fade out They're all fading out We're all fading out Take my heart, Prophet Take my heart, Prophet Take my heart, Prophet Take my heart, Prophet

The situations progressed We built this city on rock and roll That's my only regret But bad is never good till there's worse (Scatter the ash, Scatter the ash) Of our homes (Scatter the ash, Scatter the ash) Of our homes At the advisor's request They suggest That we blame someone else That we blame someone else And we all say nothing more Lay down your hands over your eyes Our hearts don't beat like before Bathing in the river of half hearted souls Take me away from everything We gathered wings of an angel And we flew up to the gates (to be with God) But when we got to the sun We lost our wings up to the flames And sold our souls to the devil Devil Devil Devil Devil Devil, devil

Basically, everything is going wrong And your only heart is gone It's out of reach and it's grown But you didn't break down And You pressed on And you found out That everyone preaching God Had turned off all their lights Or they've buried their teeth inside A contradicting life Wait, wait Wait, wait Don't gnash your teeth Wait, wait Wait, wait Wait, wait And waste away Wait, wait Wait, wait Wait, wait Don't gnash your teeth And waste away Have you fallen asleep With a dagger in between your bones? That was thoughtfully placed By your own finesse (Watching) All the sparkles start to fade (Watching) And everyone loses their way (Watching) The monsters that they make (Watching) Well, don't blame the wine glass for the drunkard (dig up your bones) (Watching) All the new become mundane (Watching) And the sun turns into rain (Watching) Distances don't fade (Watching) What's golden is now gray Wait, wait Wait, wait Wait, wait Don't gnash your teeth Wait, wait Wait, wait Wait, wait Waste away Wait, wait Wait, wait Wait, wait Don't gnash your teeth And waste away Have you fallen asleep With a dagger in between your bones? That was thoughtfully placed By your own wretched finesse Walk on (Walk on) Walk on (Walk on) Walk on (Walk on) Walk on (Walk on) Walk on (Walk on) Walk on (Walk on) Walk on Walk on, walk on Walk on... ...and you'll never walk alone

The chariot! The chariot! Its wheels roll in fire As the Lord cometh down In the pomp of his ire! Lo! Self moving it drives On its pathway of clouds And the heavens with the burden Of Godhead are bowed O Mercy! O Mercy! Look down from above Great Creator on us Thy sad children with love When beneath, to their darkness The wicked are driven May our justified souls Find a welcome in heaven
