Lyrics for And A God Descended by Dar Williams:
| | | Artist: | Dar Williams |
| | Album: | The Green World | | Track: | And A God Descended | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 83 | | | | Lyrics: | "Step through this trampled wall
The unhinged door betrays it all
That far within our
faith we were all waiting
The broken glass reflects the haze
It shines like endless holy
days
Struggling to remember what they're celebrating
Well, a God descended
And
the reason ended
His life was lifted just above the law
And now we have to live with what
we did
With what we saw
Well, you mend your clothes and patch your roof
And
slivers of God's shattered truth
Grow tender as the grass in clean-swept yards
But a
savior came and told us how
The truth was all around us now
Abandon house and field and
gather up the shards
Well, a God descended
And the reason ended
His life was
lifted just above the law
And now we have to live with what we did
With what we
saw
Well, you build your faith with strength and duty
Build your love but there's a
beauty
Well you know the scriptures tell
There are a few shards left in hell
And if
we want a god we had to follow, follow him down
Pictures torn out of their
frames
And orgies where we lost our names
All were gone with time's real desire
Well,
you ask how God can curse you thus
That's not a question asked by us
We burned our beds
and books
We fear we've lost the fire
The God descended
And the reason
ended
His life was lifted just above the law
And now we have to live with what we
did
With what we saw...
