jake blount - take me to the water / prayer lyrics

[chorus]
take me to the water
take me to the water
take me to the water
to be baptized

[instrumental break]

[chorus]
take me to the water
take me to the water
take me to the water
to be baptized
[interlude]
we gather here today to confess
and be cleansed in the eyes of our creator
we gather hеre to be washed clеan of the sins of humanity
we gather here to reject the greed of our forefathers
here, where dead sea meets withered land
we see the jagged remnants of the old cities piercing the tops of the waves
and they pierce our hearts with the revelation
yours and the earth’s are all the glories that endure
and for all our toil, in the end
we must submit to your judgment
as they did

[verse]
(judgement, judgement bar) for it is the fate of all humankind to be judged
(judgement, judgement bar) our forefathers took without giving, took without need
(judgement, judgement bar) took things that they had neither desire nor use for, and threw them away
(judgement, judgement bar) they covered the face of the ancient planet in newborn desert
(judgement, judgement bar) they melted the ice at the ends of the earth, drowned the coast
(judgement, judgement bar) emptied seas and forests of life, filled the very oceans with fire
(judgement) and were judged
(judgement bar) you see the verdict there
(judgement) in yonder drowned city
(judgement bar) and, we, their children
(judgement) are cursed to wander
(judgement bar) deprived of land that can sustain us
(judgement) by our own ancestors
(judgement bar) but we keep the stories
(judgement) we remember
(judgement bar) what set man
(judgement) on the downward road
(judgement bar)
