On Distant Shores - Five Iron Frenzy[00:00:00]
I have been scarred so deep by life and cold[00:00:25]
Despair[00:00:29]
And brittle bones were broken far beyond repair[00:00:31]
I have leveled lies so deep the truth may never[00:00:38]
Find[00:00:42]
And inside my faithless heart I stole things never mine[00:00:44]
If mercy falls upon the broken and the poor[00:00:50]
Dear father I will see you there on distant shores[00:00:56]
I have toiled for countless years and ever felt the[00:01:15]
Cost[00:01:19]
And I've been burned by this world's cold[00:01:21]
Like leaves beneath the frost[00:01:24]
On my knees I've crawled to you[00:01:28]
Bleeding myself dry[00:01:31]
But the price of life is more than I could[00:01:34]
Ever buy[00:01:37]
If mercy falls upon the broken and the poor[00:01:40]
Dear father I will see you there on distant shores[00:01:47]
And off of the blocks[00:02:05]
I was headstrong and proud[00:02:08]
At the front of the line for the card carrying[00:02:11]
Highbrowed[00:02:16]
With both eyes fastened tight yet unscarred from the fight[00:02:17]
Running at full tilt my sword pulled from I'ts hilt[00:02:24]
It's funny how these things can slip away our frail[00:02:30]
Deeds[00:02:36]
The last will wave good bye[00:02:38]
It's funny how the hope will bleed away[00:02:42]
The citadels we build and fortify good bye[00:02:47]
Night came and I broke my stride[00:02:55]
I swallowed hard but never cried[00:02:58]
When grace was easy to forget[00:03:01]
I'd denounce the hypocrites[00:03:05]
Casting first stones killing my own[00:03:08]
You would unscale my blind eyes[00:03:14]
And I stood battered but more wise[00:03:17]
Fighting to accelerate[00:03:20]
Shaking free from crippling weight[00:03:23]
With resilience unsurpassed[00:03:27]
I clawed my way to you at last[00:03:29]
And on my knees I wept at your feet[00:03:33]
I finally believed that you still loved me[00:03:39]
Healing hands of god[00:03:46]
Have mercy on our unclean souls once again[00:03:50]
Jesus Christ light of the world[00:03:58]
Burning bright within our hearts forever[00:04:03]
Freedom means love without condition[00:04:11]
Without a beginning or an end[00:04:18]
Here's my heart let it be forever yours[00:04:23]
Only you can make every new day seem so new[00:04:30]
