Temple of the Wounded Sun

[Verse 1] Black glass dawn Ash on the altar cloth Your name carved In the fog on the stained church door Cold coins fall In a rusted wishing bowl You said “faith” Then you swallowed another storm [Chorus] In the temple of the wounded sun You bleed for everyone On your knees On your tongue Say “Carry me Carry me Carry me” In the temple of the wounded sun Where the shadows overrun You still burn You still burn You still burn (hallelujah, hallelujah) [Verse 2] Wide eyes Kohl-lined Mirrors in the colonnade Veils catch fire On the teeth of the desert wind Gold dust Dry wine Dripping from your open hands Every vow Is a rope you can’t pull back in [Chorus] In the temple of the wounded sun You bleed for everyone On your knees On your tongue Say “Carry me Carry me Carry me” In the temple of the wounded sun Where the shadows overrun You still burn You still burn You still burn (hallelujah, hallelujah) [Bridge] Face to the east While the sky turns black Every broken god Wants their image back Step in the circle Step through the flame You forgot your past But it knows your name (oh, it knows your name) [Chorus] In the temple of the wounded sun You bleed for everyone On your knees On your tongue Say “Carry me Carry me Carry me” In the temple of the wounded sun Where the shadows overrun You still burn You still burn You still burn (hallelujah, hallelujah)
