letra de three and twenty - this glass embrace

[verse 1]
o, i am but a rogue and peasant slave!
an empty vessel with a mouth stopped up with clay
of one part wisdom and three parts cowardice i’m made
i may have cause and will but can’t seem to summon strength

[chorus]
and who can know, save heaven, where our souls may stand?
this hesitation holds me fast; the roots close in above my head
and tell me, who above the ground can see the end?
even the angels are not told the day and hour
we dare not waste this moment

[verse 2]
we are worn down not by the days but by despair
entombed by calendars and clocks we gasp for air
the weight that drags us to the dust will break us worse
than even three and twenty years beneath the earth

[chorus]
and who can know, save heaven, where our souls may stand?
this hesitation holds me fast; the roots close in above my head
and tell me, who above the ground can see the end?
even the angels are not told the day and hour
we dare not waste this moment

[bridge]
come, gather oil to burn, the night is falling fast
cast off this clinging doubt, the time has come to act
come, wake the watchers, we will not be caught asleep
stand up and raise your eyes
discard this disbelief

[chorus]
and who can know, save heaven, where our souls may stand?
this hesitation holds me fast; the roots close in above my head
and tell me, who above the ground can see the end?
even the angels are not told the day and hour
we dare not waste this moment
