Lift me up Lift me up Put me above jail But put me below skies, below crimson skies Undress me from these rags Shake me and watch me glow Foundations cracking under the wisdom of our steps Lift me up and shake me low Shake and glow and life will be saved Time is mine, ignore the blind It won't be long till the writing is gone And time will fly A burden on life lifted high and precisely through wisdom and war Wisdom and war Braided veins Can turn to gold Smoke and stone Will claim the skies and open all whose eyes are blind The tempter is behind thee, and cowers through the throes The sands that drank from blood, to rivers that flow beyond Time is mine, ignore the blind It won't be long till the writing is gone And time will fly The tied hands of man and you will understand through the pains of rebirth Time is mine, the choking of seas I won't be wrong when the scriptures are gone And time will fly A burden on life lifted high and precisely through wisdom and war Deplete the eyes Walk through the skies In the memories of old We'll blow it all away Time is mine, ignore the blind It won't be long till the writing is gone And time will fly The tied hands of man and you will understand through the pains of rebirth Time is mine, the choking of seas I won't be wrong when the scriptures are gone And time will fly A burden on life lifted high and precisely through wisdom and war
