Emergence - Shahada lyrics

Kneel on sacred reeds and kiss the rising sun A wild intemperate wind will rush Among the works that you've begun Set the skies aflame and dance within the fire A sword, a word, a holy verse The keys to all that you desire Scorn to take the tainted cup Life and light will wash away Bear your tender spirit up Hope and faith will wash away Bury reason in the sand Love and trust will wash away Hide your face as they command Heart and soul will wash away Dine on brittle straws and bind your wounds with prayer The promises of ancient prophets vanish in the desert air Sow your fields with flesh put poison in your well Entomb yourself while still alive condemn yourself to living hell Scorn to take the tainted cup Life and light will wash away Bear your tender spirit up Hope and faith will wash away Bury reason in the sand Love and trust will wash away Hide your face as they command Heart and soul will wash away
