Metal Church

Sleeps With Thunder

Metal Church


Is it just the Things you see that make it all worth while 
Put your God into a box and keep him by your side 
Hopeless is the refugee escaping from the truth 
The mothership has passed you by now 
there's nothing you can do 

My time is finished here 
Now choose what you must do 
My eyes have shed the tears 
And paid the price for you 
Many here have seen the light 
The devil sits and wonders 
The man who keeps his heart a stone 
Is the man who sleeps with thunder 

Monuments and shrines are built to spirits that deceive 
Soft associations with the angels you believe 
Soon to find your friendly guides have lead you far astray 
Now you walk in blackest night you never learned to pray 

In your mind you pacify 
Tricks and tales and lullabyes 
Now you bid your soul goodbye 

When you climb that mountain while the rain is coming round 
The peak is only visible on your way back down 
Everyone will tell you what it is you should believe 
But hearing what you want to hear will give you no relief
