[Verse 1] The bread tastes bitter now At the edge of every table Children count their small goodbyes While the elders look unstable Hands are full of borrowed gold And mouths are full of blame Every promise turns to smoke Every crown forgets its name [Pre-Chorus] I hear the doors in heaven Shut and open slow Every hidden thing comes shining In the undertow [Chorus] It is written It is written The world keeps breaking For the ones who sinned It is written It is written Mercy weeps out loud Then justice steps in [Verse 2] Rain falls black on the garden rows Where the old bones used to sleep Truth sits naked by the well And no one wants to keep Mothers hold their starving sons Like candles in the wind I see the faithful walking on Through the ash of what has been [Pre-Chorus] I hear the doors in heaven Open wide and low Every secret heart is ringing Like a tower bell below [Chorus] It is written It is written The world keeps breaking For the ones who sinned It is written It is written Mercy weeps out loud Then justice steps in [Bridge] Still I lift my face Through the smoke and the rain If the fire is holy Then cleanse us again Take the bitter root Take the proudest vow If the world must bend Let it bend us now [Chorus] It is written It is written The world keeps breaking For the ones who sinned It is written It is written Mercy weeps out loud Then justice steps in [Outro] It is written It is written A saxophone sobs into the dark And the last light falls apart
