Salvation Songtext
von Rosebud

He′s sleeping in the hallway, sick with cold and wine
The doors are locked before him, his bridges burned behind
Like a singing bird in winter with a solitary song
Nobody there to hear him, nobody helps him along

Buddy, was it bright before you fell?
It's a long way down that crooked road to hell

Salvation

Fifty hours from midnight as the sparrow falls
The sound of someone weeping echoes through the halls
Poisoned by the failure to keep somebody near
His memory is laughter, his certainty is fear

Buddy, was it bright before you fell?
It′s a long way down that crooked road to hell

Salvation

Salvation, did somebody cry?
Did somebody cry?

Salvation

Salvation, did somebody cry?
Oh, did somebody cry?


Oh, Lazarus

Somewhere in the city, somewhere in his pain
A ragged man with no coat on is shivering in the rain
And your mark is on his forehead, a serpent and a dove
God, won't you help me to know your face? Teach me how to love

Buddy, was it bright before you fell?
It's a long way down that crooked road to hell

Salvation

Salvation, did somebody cry?
Did somebody cry?

Oh, did somebody cry?
Did somebody cry?
Salvation
Salvation, did somebody cry?
Did somebody cry?
Did somebody cry?

Oh, Lazarus


Salvation, did somebody cry? (Salvation)
Salvation, did somebody cry? (Salvation)
Salvation, did somebody cry? (Salvation)
Salvation, did somebody cry? (Salvation)
Did somebody cry? (Salvation)
Did somebody cry?
