God Man Slain

I've been listening to shining serpents

I've been dazzled by snakes with wings

I've been haunting ancient churches in search of you

I've been taking a lot of chances

Still receiving the strangest glances

I'm always doing the oddest dances in praise of you

I stumble round like a god-man slain

Crucified by the sound of your name

I stumble round like a god-man slain for you

The mind forgets, the heart remembers

The will resists, the soul surrenders

I'm in a world of dying embers in search of you

Summer days and blazing colours

Beating wings the size of lovers

Every word we said I still recall

I stumble round like a god-man slain

Crucified by the sound of your name

I stumble round like a god-man slain for you

I stumble round like a god-man slain for you

I stumble round like a god-man slain for you

I've been talking with fallen angels

I've been risking the gravest dangers

I've been seen by the eyes of strangers in search of you

I hang around in your pouring rain

A chariot-boy with a permanent flame

I keep the faith, I hide my shame from you

I stumble round like a god-man slain

Still calling out your blessed name

I stumble round like a god-man slain for you
