mark heard - orphans of god lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i will rise from my bed with a question again
as i work to inherit the restless wind
the view from my window is cold and obscene
i want to touch what my eyes haven’t seen

[verse 2]
but they have packaged our virtue in cellulose dreams
and sold us the remnants ’til our pockets are clean
til our hopes fall ’round our feet like the dust and dead leaves
and we end up looking like what we believe

[chorus]
we are soot covered urchins running wild and unshod
we will always be remembered as the orphans of god
they will dig up these ruins and make flutes of our bones
and blow a hymn to the memory of the orphans of god

[verse 3]
like bees in a bottle we are flying at fate
beating our wings against the walls of this place
unaware that the struggle is the blood of the proof
in choosing to believe the unbelievable truth

[verse 4]
but they have captured our siblings and rendered them mute
disputed our lineage and poisoned our roots
we have bought from the brokers who have broken their oaths
and we’re out on the streets with a lump in our throats

[chorus]
we are soot covered urchins running wild and unshod
we will always be remembered as the orphans of god
they will dig up these ruins and make flutes of our bones
and blow a hymn to the memory of the orphans of god
