about

We have spent our days
Forgetting and remembering
Forgetting and remembering
Your goodness

And we have been afraid
That you have turned your face
That you have taken flight
And forsaken us

Oh death,
We have felt your sting
Oh darkness,
We're weary of your wings

But deep we know
That we are all called child
Beneath these chains
Our hearts are still wild

The teachers of the law
Give rations of your freedom
But we haven't tasted hope
In a long time

For they've poisoned all your wine
And they've spoiled all your bread
And we can't find your body
Though you've risen from the dead

Oh death,
We have felt your sting
Oh darkness,
We're weary of your wings

But deep we know
That we are all called child
Beneath these chains
Our hearts are still wild

-

Dance with all your might
Dance among the shadows
Dance until the darkness becomes light

Let the filthy dance with the righteous
Until there's no more daylight and darkness
