Steve Bell - Descent lyrics

Artist: Steve Bell

album: Pilgrim Year


They sought to soar into the skies
Those classic gods of high renown
For lofty pride aspires to rise
But you came down
For lofty pride aspires to rise
But you came down
You dropped down from the mountain sheer
Forsook the eagle for the dove
The other gods demanded fear but you gave love
The other gods demanded fear but you gave love
Ooh ooh ooh
Where chiseled marble seemed to freeze
Their abstract and perfected form
Compassion brought you to your knees
Your blood was warm
They called for blood in sacrifice
Their victims on an altar bled
When no one else could pay the price you died instead
When no one else could pay the price you died instead
Ooh ooh ooh
They tired above our mortal plane
Dismissed this restless flesh with scorn
Aloof from birth and death and pain
But you were born
Aloof from birth and death and pain
But you were born
Born to these burdens borne by all
Born with us all astride the grave
Weak to be with us when we fall
And strong to save
Weak to be with us when we fall
And strong to save
