B&T strike again

I traded in my bottle caps for a calm and a steady heart
My blood, once thinned, now thick and rich and warm
And all the dust I swallowed lying face down in the hall
The light is bright and, oh, my body burns

I carved out my direction like a blind man charts his course
And looked to things created for my joy
I held you in my right hand and in my left, a lie:
That I made god, and he burns just like me

So remember the taste of ash
And surrender, I'll take you back

Theres something more than tools and chisels, words and empty faith
I groan like prisoners long condemned to die
You've swept away my offenses and sins like morning mist
This wood will rot, but You will still remain
You will always be the same

So remember the taste of ash
And surrender, I'll take you back


Part of this song is borrowed from Psalm 109 and Isaiah 44.
