The Redemption Songtext
von Please Standby...

The world is crashing into
The walls of these castles
And falling down
As we distort the anthem
Of this deadbeat
And burnout town
So we′ll run like hell til
The break of day
As we drift into the night
For in just a while
God himself will make
Everything alright

And take your time to realize
That this is not just in your eyes
This place can really be like this


Where everyone is so alive
With miracles and clear blue skies
God smiled on us today
And so with our last breath
And forever then some
We'll seize this day
Until the sun comes
To the west
Oh, god I love today

So come and raise the fire
That lights a path we′ve never known
Through a city so lost and hopeless
These empty streets that
Bear no home
We'll shine a light on
The way back to the
Place we left our dreams
And beautiful as they are
They could never really
Mean so much to me

And take your time to realize
That this is not just in your eyes
This place can really be like this


Where everyone is so alive
With miracles and clear blue skies
God smiled on us today
And so with our last breath
And forever then some
We'll seize this day
Until the sun comes
To the west oh, God I love today

When the shofar screamed like thunder
We ran for the caves
And shook our fists at the hills
We had waited for so long
Until the lamb roars like the lion
And the snake crawls like the worm
We′ll sing hallelujah!
How long, Lord, how long?

Where everyone is so alive
With miracles and clear blue skies
God smiled on us today
And so with our last breath
And forever then some
We′ll seize this day
Until the sun comes
To the west
Oh, God I love today
