Tom Clarke - Angel Lust lyrics

Mother, how far did you deviate? Alone in the dark as you would meditate Did you conceive of us when in multitude above Bearing us forth in labour pains of love? The bridge collapsed but you took the stone From the ash an altar raised, you rebuilt your home Hunger for concourse, you brought us to life Crawling, standing, running, towards the light [Chorus] And though we'll face the spite of thousands And cynics they will try to tempt and change our minds We'll keep our faith alive, we'll raise our voices And scream it from our hearts: God loves her children Blinded in the conclave we offer our trust Shaking and bound in the angel lust Our mouths are open, we wait to receive A sign and the scraps of truth of what we believe [Chorus] And though we'll face the spite of thousands Nonbelievers they will try to tempt and change our minds We'll keep our faith alive, we'll raise our voices And scream it from our hearts: God loves her children And though we'll face the spite of thousands And cynics they will try to tempt and change our minds We know we'll never die alone and frightened Just closer to the last communion without her We'll keep our faith alive, we'll raise our voices And scream it from our hearts: God loves her children The pa**ion, the pain, our bodies ache, we cry your name
