glossolalia
by steve walsh
the horses are restless, awake and aware, the whispering wind-- someone is there
the firelight flickers, eyes open wide-- the killer walks into the light
and i'm wondering, i'm thinking out loud, "this is the price to be proud"
this my defiance--
glossolalia
you pick this moment to blemish our land, the throats of the innocents cut on command
all for blood money and skins that you rob
the vigilant will learn to play god
if purpose and purity are part of me now, this is the price to be proud
this my defiance (hear my warrior cry)
i bring you this moment, i bring you this dead one, i bring you this honesty never given to me
i sing and it's louder the faster i ride, "i will take you down to the dark place down down down"
have faith in me, my eyes can see what you really fear--
my heart can see what you really want here
have faith in me, i mark all my arrows so you know they're from me--
i pray they find your coward's soul
in singular pain you will pay for a nation whose only crime was to believe your lies
(hear my warrior cry)
