18 bullet holes
In the body of a priest
They say he was eating a hot dog
When the ammunition was released
They say he was always fat and lazy
But he was an awfully nice guy
That's just one more death to show you
You never know when you're gonna die
You might be facing the beast
Sometimes God I feel like I'm living in a
A bone grinding mill
And every time I hear the sound
I can barely stand still
It's a thing I can't quite make out sometimes
But it seems to be getting louder
One more body from the valley of the dry bones
Getting ground up into powder
Against Your holy will
Oh God it hurts so bad
To love anybody down here
Why don't You come and help me out
'Cause I can't even see clear
Well the funny thing about the way a girl gets destroyed
About the way that deal goes down
Is that everybody pretty much sees it coming at the sister
From all the way across town
And she isn't always blinded
She isn't always far astray
She just might not be thinking
She might be having a bad day
But when you choose you choose
And when you drown you drown
Last night I dreamed that You swallowed me into Yourself
And I was floating on the sea inside
When I landed on the shore
I saw all these people that I thought had died
I hadn't seen some of them for ages
They had left without a single word
And when I said something to them
Not a single one of them heard
They were all looking right through everything like it wasn't even there
Some were full of anger some were full of fear
And then I recognized that something very sad and very beautiful
Was happening right here
They were all caught outside standing alone
In very heavy rain
And when a raindrop landed on my tongue
I didn't need You to explain
That these were Your tears
Oh God it hurts so bad
To love anybody down here
But oh that's right You know so well
One thorny crown three nails and a spear
