Daniel Amos - I Will Return lyrics

And the city stood In a glowing splendor 'Til her ashes were laid in an urn Beneath a fast food counter I will return The descendants were born And they danced their dances Then the sound of their stumbling was great Tilting the world on it's axis I will return And the women gazed in their mirrors Suitors brought them vials of perfume(Quiet lives of desperation) Then golden-haired locusts with the faces of angels Sealed each of them up in a metal cocoon And the life ran out Just when it all seemed better Here is a display in a granite museum A shame on view forever I will return, I will return And the birdcage was eventually opened A great flock of nuns flew away (Meeting no one's expectations) And the saints who had slept on a head of a pin Came down from the sky at the end of all days And the city stood In a glowing splendor 'Til her ashes were laid in an urn Beneath a fast food counter I will return (I will be coming like a thief in the night) I will return (I will be coming like a thief in the night)...
