letra de the breath before the plunge - attalus
my head’s high but i’m wearing a blindfold
forced to march to the rhythm of their cold fists
that play a beat on my cheeks and my lips
joined by the clatter of the chains on my wrists
i have the right to remain blind
and if i open my eyes or my mind
i’ll get cast aside by the majority rule
but god distinguishes the wise from the fools
my head’s high but it’s starting to throb
i hate the sound of this bloodthirsty mob
vain words are filling their sentences
they paid off the witnesses
they curse and they spit just for emphasis
i have the right to remain silent
and anything i say or i do they’ll malign
and they’ll use to accuse me in their court of law
but this is no court at all
it isn’t just
no, it isn’t just
but why do i contend?
they’re not my judge
no, they’re not my judge
so i am not condemned
no, i am not condemned
come mutineers
come do your worst tonight
feast on my tears
and feed your appetite
i have no fear
i shed it with my rights
i’ll leave you here
i’ll leave you standing at the sight of my remains
they scream loud as i’m lead to the scaffold
my executioner shouts ’cause he’s baffled at my peace
they beat me ’till i crumple to my knees
my body’s crushed but my spirit’s at ease
i have the right to remain a coward
but i’ve been waiting for this day and this hour
and i pray that i’ll stay brave and true to the end
oh, god, you know i’d do it again
calling out to the end of the ledge
i’ll finally give what i pledged
i’m finally here at the edge
of atonement
one step, one miraculous moment
i taste it
i sense it
i already own it
i have the right to remain god
but i could never fit in his crown
i took it off and i drowned in the thought that i’m only a man
and i can’t hold his world in my hands
it isn’t right
no, it isn’t right
but why do i protest?
i’ll be alright
yes, i’ll be alright
when i have come to rest
when i have come to rest
come mutineers
come do your worst tonight
feast on my tears
and feed your appetite
i have no fear
i shed it with my rights
i’ll leave you here
i’ll leave you standing at the sight of my remains
they offer me a sponge
it drips with blood and sour wine
but i’ll drink my father’s cup
i’ll drink it ’till i drink it from the vine
oh, how i thirst for this
i yearn for this
the taste of ecstasy
i’m finally comin’ home (finally comin’ home)
my bed is made upon the sea
it’s in the air
it’s filling up my lungs
i’m almost there
this is the breath before the plunge
come providence
come take me home tonight
my hope of this
has kept my burden light
oh, sweet abyss
wash this old world from sight
come providence
come providence
come providence
come take me home tonight
my hope of this
has kept my burden light
oh, sweet abyss
wash this old world from sight
come providence
come providence
my head’s high and i finally behold
that light that my faith always fortold
oh, words can’t describe
how it feels to feel alive
today i’m coming clean
i’m coming home
i’m giving everything
you’re worth it all
you’re worth it all
jesus, you’re worth the offering
