The Listening - Hosea in C Minor lyrics

Didn't believe when I gave you the diamond Buried underground so no one saw it shining None of the people who told you could hear it Voices on the tele always there to deceive it You didn't know you were sleeping with demons You wouldn't listen to the husband that cried From the tops of cathedrals and churches you walked right on by You went your own way Now you've fallen down, love Now you're on your own Won't know its love 'til its taken away And you've thrown your own soul into hell for a day Now you'll carry on, son Now...now you know Won't know its love 'til its taken away And you've thrown your own soul into hell for a day Its the ransom you owed, but a debt that I paid Yet you've hated your freedom and envied the slaves... Didn't believe when I called you my lover You'd be pulling on the walls until they tumble over You didn't know you were drinking with demons You wouldn't listen to the angels that cried From the tops of cathedrals and churches You walked right on by You went your own way Now you've fallen down, love Now you're on your own Won't know its love 'til its taken away And you've thrown your own soul into hell for a day Now you'll carry on, son Now...now you know Won't know its love 'til its taken away And you've thrown your own soul into hell for a day Its the ransom you owed, but a debt that I've paid Yet you've hated your freedom and envied the slaves...
