lyrics

The Sparrow and the Wolf

Surely the sparrow
toils not for peace
but in the arms of the Lord
he waits for the moment
when the gun is fired
and alone he dies

There is no hell
only life tangled up with death
No hope but the grace
that we can give
to our darkest selves

Surely the wolf
lives not to hunt
but in the arms of God
she waits for her meal
when it comes not
she strikes the foal

There is no reason
only desire and confusion
The hope to break
beyond the bounds of
a life tangled thus

Today as ever before
we move down this path
burying all of our fear and loneliness in hate
oh the victims they cover the shame
of our desires
our secret lives

Surely the sparrow
toils not for peace
but in the arms of the lord
he waits for the moment
when the gun is fired
and alone he dies
