Well it's hope, it's hope, that has me staring to the burning sky I know, I know, there's something hidden, on the other side I woke, I woke with such a feeling I could never rise Now I'm gazing skyward till the sun just burned me blind Burned me blind, burned me blind Burned me blind, burned me blind Well, one drank up the holy water hoping for a light While another slipped a sewing bodkin right inside his eye And they ran out from the city calling, collecting salts and lye Crack and crush it, burn it maybe baby, find the God inside God inside, God inside, yeah God inside, God inside We know there's something to which we're blind 'Cause it's hope that pulls us forward till we die Ollie ollie oxen free, come out from where you hide Tell me, tell me what you want from me, I promise I provide I'll drink your poison, I'll keep you company, I'll serve you till I die Come on, crack Pandora's Box for me, blind me with the light With the light, with the light, come on With the light, with the light Learn the language of our Holy Fathers retrace their sacred rights Plot and chart the arc of Haley's Comet, floating through the night I drain my blood until my chalky body feels closer to the sky I dance upon the edge of death just to prove that I'm alive I'm alive, I'm alive, yeah I'm alive, I'm alive We know there's something to which we're blind 'Cause it's hope that pulls us forward till we die
