For We Were Dead - Most epic synth pt.47 @kleemannbeats (Remix)
*** [Verse 1] I was fluent in the language of the air a dialect of wanting, dressed in borrowed skin walked the length of every corridor of self and found the lights were never on within Children of the wrath we couldn't name we rehearsed our little hungers like a hymn followed every current, every pull and called the drowning living, called the dark a friend [Pre-Chorus] But something moved beneath the weight of it something rich, something older than my doubt because He loved us, even then, even there even when the only word I knew was out [Chorus] Raise me up from where the dead things go seated somewhere that I cannot see but know not by anything I carried to the door grace, just grace, just grace, and nothing more grace, just grace, and nothing more [Verse 2] We were strangers wearing distance like a coat no treaty, no belonging, bleeding at the seams far off, far off, the word repeated like a wound but peace came wearing flesh and split the wall between One body from the two, the hostility undone the long dividing record finally torn access through the same breath, access through the same door no longer guests, but something like reborn [Pre-Chorus] And I am still learning what it means to be a dwelling place for something that won't leave built together, all the fractured stones of us into something that the architect conceived [Chorus] Raise me up from where the dead things go seated somewhere that I cannot see but know not by anything I carried to the door grace, just grace, just grace, and nothing more grace, just grace, and nothing more [Bridge] [spoken word] It was not from you It was not from you The gift arrived before you knew to ask it was not from you So let the boasting drop its bags and leave we are the poem, we are what He made for good works He prepared before we woke we only walk the path already laid [Outro] [soft, building] Fellow citizens now, household, stone on stone cornerstone to capstone, nothing built alone grow together, grow together holy, holy, held grow together into something words have never, never, never fully told ***
