Lyrics
I have lain with the lamb
And sang his tender praise on long dark nights
And searched my drawn face long and hard
For a sign of his light
Shoulders to the wheel for the grist of faith
Is manna for the blind
And like a child of Cain
Without the providence of fate
And joy did come
It rose with the morning sun
Like cold guilty sweat across my brow
These are the first words that fell upon my lips
I have lain with the wolf
He seeks me out and demands my company
In the corner of a crowded room
With words of madness and water of fire
He whispers, when the demons come
Do you make peace with them
Or do you - or do you become one of them?
Do you?
He preaches - He preaches salvation
In the loins of women
He whispers when the - when the demons come
Do you make peace
With them or do you become them?
If I give name to my furies...
And when the shadow fell upon me, I knew
I was running with the wolf
And it was his eyes I saw staring back
And this I learnt and this I know
You cannot escape the beast when you wear his mark
