Letra de Weary Saints

For years we fought the night
With pale and ghostly flames
Some still dream of light
Say the sun will rise again

But we kill our needs for alms
With cool and measured crime
We learn to grift and palm
From our hearts and from our minds

Let us not be faithless
For You will meet our needs
Thy good and gracious Word is
A lamp unto our feet

For years we've closed our eyes
While rust on reason grows
We feed and clothe our lies
But in our hearts we know, yeah, we know

That wisdom lends us all
A cool and steady hand
The steel pressed to my palm
Doesn't make me more of a man

So courage, Father, give us
To do what must be done:
To deal out truth and justice
With swift and sobered guns

For years You've met our thirst
Still deserts we have roamed
We'll be done with dust and dirt
When the ocean calls us home

We fall into the arms
Of a cool and sweet embrace;
And under stars and waving palms
We'll shed our sin like snakes

And time will cease to stalk us
Death will be undone
We'll shine with the light of
A thousand blazing suns

Time will cease to stalk us
Death will be undone
We'll shine with the light of
A thousand blazing suns
