Deadman - Absalom! Absalom! lyrics

Absalom! Absalom! where have you gone? Are you running out of fear, out of hate? Ashamed to move toward a precious reward Afraid that you're lacking in faith? That's okay, boy, no one's counting And no one is keeping score You're burning down houses because it arouses The depth of love from the core And your heart opens wide The demons you fight They still haunt you Someone told me of revolution With a cause that is worth fighting for And when I arrived on the terrible fight The revolution was no more And so many had paid the price So many didn't even know why I can't even see how it ever came to this I can't even remember why we tried And the heart opens wide The demons you fight They still haunt you So much more you've seen it So much more between us between us There is peace peace that flows like a river And just like rivers flow to the sea We move on we forgive one another Absalom! Absalom! golden boy Don't bring me no terrible news It took us so long to sing the victory song Even though we've got the blues And the heart opens wide The demons have died And kingdom come Your work here is done Not in vain Not in vain Not in vain
