Bathsheba

daniel held their mouths closed so he could pray
a quiet night before his judgement day
and there's a cancer in my lung, i cough it up
and burn it all until God says, "My son, that's enough."

you couldn't pay me to hang up my boots, no
i've read it all, all of the words inside this Book
and if there's someone out there, well i'm gonna shout it
i don't care if they didn't ask about it

can you see the snake in your garden?
your city's burning to the ground in your sleep
come on, come on, take this song and guard it
so when the silence comes you'll have something to sing

so look for me in the lion's den, that's where i've been
held up with a pack of cigarettes
and i've been bathing in blood to wash away my sins
while in she slipped with whiskey on her breath

can you see the snake in your garden?
your city's burning to the ground in your sleep
come on, come on, take this song and guard it
so when the silence comes you'll have something to sing

light a match to the altar, and give yourself up like a lamb to the slaughter
(close your eyes, so you don't see your father)
where it's sweet like wine
