Desperation, Part Iii Lyrics - Singles - Redemption

[m/l van Dyk] 

Hiding in the theater, listening to Tom 

Telling whitewashed lies about the China Pit 

Whatever has happened, started when they opened it 

And brought out the carvings from the deepest part 

David leaves the others and falls asleep while praying 

A vision of sister then appears to him 

Sent by God to show him, the truth of what transpired 

And what the few survivors have to do 

The Chinese came, and were made slaves 

Deep in the mine they broke through, to the 

Pirin Moh, the home of Tak 

The Heart of the Unformed 

The red eye of Ini, where its evil lies 

Smoke from it drove the men mad 

And they murdered each other, except for two brothers 

Who caused the cave-in as they escaped? 

Blamed for the cave in, and hung by the town 

But Tak is one of them and swears his revenge 

A hundred years later, the mine is reopened 

And the madness begins again 

Bodies wear out, but the souls must survive 

Evil and good are eternal 

The path of the truth is much crueler than lies 

But it sacrifices us in the end 

Mary hears a voice, and goes to seek it out 

She thinks that she hears Ellen Carver somewhere near 

But Ellen's rotting body is the vessel now for Tak 

Who captures her and takes her back to the mine 

David explains the truth to the others 

Tak from the well of souls, another dimension 

Took Collie's body, the evil awakened 

And now the must destroy this affront to God 

Bodies wear out, but the souls must survive 

Evil and good are eternal 

The path of the truth is much crueler than lies 

But it sacrifices us in the end 

Johnny now recalls, what really happened in Nam 

Tak was in the Vietcong that planned the bomb 

Could have warned the others were he less concerned with stealth 

But he sprinted from the building and only saved himself 

Deep inside the author knows 

The boy is right and their path is clear 

He finds a God he never knew 

Closes his eyes and prays 

Bodies wear out, but the souls must survive 

Evil and good are eternal 

The path of the truth is much crueler than lies 

But it sacrifices us in the end 

Bodies wear out, but the souls must survive 

Evil and good are eternal 

The path of the truth is much crueler than lies 

But it sacrifices us in the end
