Lift me up, lift me up
Put me above jail but put me below skies
Below crimson skies
Undress me from these rags
Shake me and watch me glow
Foundations cracking under
The wisdom of our steps
Lift me up and shake me low
Shake and glow and life will be saved
Time is mine, ignore the blind
It won't be long till the writing is gone
And time will fly, a burden on life lifted high
And precisely through wisdom and war, wisdom and war
Braided veins, can turn to gold
Smoke and stone will claim the skies
And open all whose eyes are blind
The tempter is behind thee
And cowers through the throes
The sands that drank from blood
To rivers that flow beyond
Time is mine, ignore the blind
It won't be long till the writing is gone
And time will fly, the tied hands of man
And you will understand through the pains of rebirth
Time is mine, the choking of seas
I won't be wrong when the scriptures are gone
And time will fly, a burden on life lifted high
And precisely through wisdom and war
Deplete the eyes
Walk through the skies
In the memories of old
We'll blow it all away
Time is mine, ignore the blind
It won't be long till the writing is gone
And time will fly, the tied hands of man
And you will understand through the pains of rebirth
Time is mine, the choking of seas
I won't be wrong when the scriptures are gone
And time will fly, a burden on life lifted high
And precisely through wisdom and war
