Perseverance Of The Saints

I wake up in the night
My body is paralyzed
Mind is running reckless
Colors are all alive
All across my eyelids
The silence of the spheres
What manner of evil
Would think it engineered?

Still, I left my friends and family pastured
And boarded a ship to spread the news
When I started to feel like I believed in a lie
I climbed up the mountain to get my dues
Nobody wanted him dead
Nobody wanted him dead

Cargo on the jetty knocks me out of reverie
It is only in my lover's arms
That I can ever sleep
In regeneration we will all persevere
Sun across our bodies
How long we been lying here?

Memory is what makes you older
You hold on to memory
Like a mother-hoarder
And time gets quick as you administrate
All the leavings of the passing years
And I pull your arms around me
I pull your arms around me

Did I pick you up so I could feel again
Like the boy who had the eye of every man?
I pull your arms around me
I pull your arms around me
