Something stirs
In thy dark belly
Where wounded souls
Are tempted by
What's borne of beasts
And tamed in smiling
That hungers for
Our prayers to die
I kneel to quench my
Thirst with infinite waters
From fountains of life
Wither you lead
Now come with your woes
To the water's edge
And see thy reflection
In me
Underneath
The grey skies double
Where sunlight falls
In dimming depths
I fathom not
What fears are stirring
For peace has stilled
My quivering breast
I kneel to quench my
Thirst with infinite waters
From fountains of life
Wither you lead
Now come with your woes
To the water's edge
And see thy reflection
In me
Oh waters rise
And take my sorrows
Drown them in
Your blanking eyes
Open your emptiness abundant
And drink in full
These sins and lies
I kneel to quench my
Thirst with infinite waters
From fountains of life
Wither you lead
Now come with your woes
To the water's edge
And see thy reflection
In me
I kneel to quench my
Thirst with infinite waters
From fountains of life
Wither you lead
Now come with your woes
To the water's edge
And see thy reflection
In me
