Dar Williams - And A God Descended Lyrics
Step through his trampled wall, the unhinged door betrays it all, that farWithin our faith we were all waiting. the broken glass reflects the haze, itShines like endless holy days, struggling to remember what theyreCelebrating. well a God decscended, and the real time ended. his light wasLifted just above the law, and now we have to live with what we did, with whatWe saw. well you mend your clothes and patch your roof and slivers of godsShattered truth grow tender as the grass in clean swept yards. but a saviorCame and told us how the truth was all around us now, abandon house and fieldAnd gather up the stards, well a God descended, and the real time ended. hisLight was lifted just above the law, and now we have to live with what we didWith what we saw. you build your faith with strength and duty, build yourLove, but theres a beauty, well you know the scriptures tell, there are a fewShards left in hell, and if we wanted God we had to follow, follow him down,Him down. there were pictureS torn out of their frames and orgies where we lost our names, ending all withTimes real desire. well you ask how God can curse you thus, thats not aQuestion asked by us, we burnt our books and beds, we fear weve lost theFire. and a God descended, and the real time ended. his light was lifted justAbove the law, and now I have to live with what I did with what I saw.
