the distance (rock) - the sleeper lyrics

i stand here waiting for the plane to land
distant engines over drifting sand
i don’t know where or when i stand
but i’ve been waiting

i knew that one day that the call would come
like a father to his long+lost son
you always told me that i’d be the one
and i’ve been waiting

all the lessons that i buried deep
come now to haunt me as i wake from my sleep
every letter burned white+hot into my mind

(they got a hold on me)
they won’t rest until the job is done
they got a hold on me
they come with fire, and they come with gun
they got a hold on me
(they got a hold on me)
all you hold true the things that you believe
they say can never be
they got a hold on me
they got a hold on me

i took an oath that now won’t be denied
undercover all these years i’d hide
not even love could reach behind those lies
while i was waiting
how could i know that my adopted land
could reach me inside me as it held out its hand
now they won’t stop until they bring you down
how they’ve been waiting

all the things that go to make your creed
they want to swallow overcome with greed
but i won’t stop and watch you fall

(they got a hold on me)
they won’t rest until the job is done
they got a hold on me
(they got a hold on me)
they come with fire, and they come with gun
they got a hold on me
(they got a hold on me)
all you hold true the things that you believe
they say can never be
they won’t rest until the job is done
they got a hold on me
(they got a hold on me)
they come with fire, and they come with gun
they got a hold on me
(they got a hold on me)
all you hold true the things that you believe
they say can never be
(they got a hold on me)
