ransom the captive heart lyrics
ransom the captive heart
squander what modest fortune you’ve managed to cling onto
upturn the temple tills
whatever it takes, if the bank’s gotta break, let nothing stop you
scatter the gathered coins
in the end, what’s left unspent will only rob you

why can’t i even cry
heaven knows how hard i try
these pilfered tears just aren’t enough
to quell the thirst that’s welling up

under the covered bridge
the thrill is gone, the kingdom long overdue
the blessed empties raise a toast
to wisdom the prophets and sniveling sophists overlooked
the dirty rainbow-colored coats
that sent your beloved once-removed cousin over the moon

powers of speech, don’t fail me now
bereft, i’m left to live without
the shades of earth that others use
to cover up the right to choose

and the devil’s losing ground
i feel him loosening power over me
growing stronger everyday
it’s a tragedy that’s played in two parts
living, dying mother earth
bringing forth, flowering, fading into nothing
radiant beams of dawn
rosy fingers stretching tighter round the neck of darkness
ransom the captive heart
serving its sentence in vain apprehension of an end

oh jehova, smoke and guns
moon and stars forsook the sun
hearken, gabriel’s rusted h-rn
all ye soon to be unborn
all this innerwork’s wearing me out
the sinner talk coming about
woe is me, lord have mercy on us all
locked behind the seven walls of self regard

and the devil’s losing now
i feel him loosening power over me
growing stronger everyday
t’s a tragedy that’s played in two parts
act i: sell your soul to feel free
act ii: buy it back at an outrageous fee
spend eternity waiting for an act iii that never comes
