Deadman - Javert lyrics

Javert! Javert! Why do you toil In pursuit of a thorn in the flesh? An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth Leaves one blinded to the fruit of the creche We used to be friends When you used your old name Back when you worked for the law But the war in your heart That imprisons you now Ceased fire in the manger straw If ye strike the rock Then the water comes forth: Water that used to be blood Formerly blood And becomes blood again And unstopped rises to flood Four rivers flow From the fountain of life That nourishes the roots of the tree From fruit that Eve took And to Adam gave And the knowledge they gained was the fee With knowledge doth come The burning within I was thinking this room is quite hot Put your gun on the floor And pour me some wine I am willing but my spirit cannot And if ye strike the rock Then the water comes forth: Water that used to be blood Formerly blood And becomes blood again And unstopped rises to flood To Carthage I came But I could not connect Saint Thomas, he gave me advice: If you fingers are numb Then warm them with grace Love’s a vessel that’s doomed to be lost The thunder of spring Commands you to stand In the shadow that’s formed out of light Our cargo is breached Our secrets found out That’s relief that you’re feeling so bright And if ye strike the rock Then the water comes forth: It’s water that used to be wine Formerly wine And becomes wine again And unstopped rises to flood
