[Verse 1]
Where feet of iron
Couldn't dare
There lay christened
In scent and tears
[Throughout]
In spite he met the grave's call
And called himself Emmanuel
In spite he met the grave's call
And called himself Emmanuel
[Verse 2]
Calloused soles
That knew no rust
Walked splintered meters
There across
[Chorus]
In spite he met the grave's call
And called himself Emmanuel
