David Thomas - True Believer lyrics

[Verse 1: Daveed Diggs] Gods Flesh is hanging in sun Purple sky and this war Women shooting their guns Men protecting their shores Running red as these ships Made for cargo and d**h Is a taste on the lips Kissing any ground left To the sky with them all Not a one left on land Traded in for steel hauls And they singing like: [Hook: Choir] True believer, I know when I'm goin' home True believer, I know when I'm goin' home True believer, I know when I'm goin' home I've been afraid- [Verse: Daveed Diggs] Three siblings happen to be gods And they fight as siblings do The world was only water then The universe was fresh and new Enefa poisned Bumba's food Once just to see what he would do He vomited the sun which dried The water leaving land and soon After came Moon and stars and animal And man of many hues The white one in the image of A sickly god would get his dues [Hook: Choir] True believer, I know when I'm goin' home True believer, I know when I'm goin' home True believer, I know when I'm goin' home I've been afraid to- [Verse 3: Daveed Diggs] Man walks Moon and he makes time come to a standstill One gloved hand, diamonds are flickering like candles This one slip, registered worlds away in vandals Raised to find this race of beings that could handle Time inside other bodies so they could sell it The one thing in the universe no one held yet Gifts in blood that had been shed as long as time had Time and he are inseparable in his mind, sad He must carry the burden of being the one That time chose, situates him in front of the gun Talk that talk, stay outta the head and become the best When times stops, then for him finally there can be rest [Hook: Choir] True believer, I know when I'm goin' home True believer, I know when I'm goin' home True believer, I know when I'm goin' home I've been afraid to die True believer, I know when I'm goin' home True believer, I know when I'm goin' home True believer, I know when I'm goin' home I've been afraid to die [Bridge: Paul Outlaw] Been afraid to die Been afraid to die Been afraid to die I've been afraid to die I've been afraid to die I've been afraid to die [Outro: Voice synthesizer] Pale gods told me to my face O yes, Lord The place I seek I never find O yes, Lord True believer, I know when we gwine home True believer, I know when we gwine home True believer, I know when we gwine home I've been afraid
