Weary Saints

For years we fought the night

With pale and ghostly flames

Some still dream of light

So the sun will rise again

We'll cure our need for wrongs

In cool and measured crime

We'll learn to drift in palm

From our hearts and from our minds

Let us not be faithless

You will meet our needs

A good and gracious wordless

Will lamp unto our feet

For years we've closed our eyes

While rust on reason grows

Feed and clothe our lies

In our hearts we know, yeah, we know

Wisdom lends us all

Cool and steady hand

Steel pressed to my palm

Doesn't make me more a man

So courage for the givers

Do what must be done

To deal out truth and justice

With swift and sober guns

For years you met our thirst

Still deserts we have roamed

We'll be done with dust and dirt

When the ocean calls us home

And fall into the arms

Of a cool and sweet embrace

And under stars and waving palms

Shed our sin like snakes

But time will cease to stalk us

Death will be undone

We'll shine with the light of

A thousand blazing suns

Time will cease to stalk us

Death will be undone

We'll shine with the light of

A thousand blazing suns
