The Writing In the Sand

歌詞

As the circle forms tonight And I take my place to execute my "right" Call the filthy ones into my sight Bring the sinners one by one Stones of judgment shall avenge the things they've done But then I raise my head and stare into the Son Oh, then I feel my blood run cold Eyes like the sharpest blade That penetrate to the bottom of my soul Words of truth that cut so deep You write the lines of mystery I stumble and the stone I held in hand is cast away When the mirror's shown to me I see my own hypocrisy And weep upon the writing in the sand All the things I try to hide All the times that I avoid your eyes Thinking somehow I can live the lie When the truth becomes too great And I can't try to clean my rotten, filthy state Or the hidden sins that doom me to my fate Oh, I can't hide it from Your sight You search out the secret things, the darkest dreams And reveal them in the light Words of truth that cut so deep You write the lines of mystery I stumble and the stone I held in hand is cast away When the mirror's shown to me I see my own hypocrisy And weep upon the writing in the sand [Solo] When the writing in the sand has washed away I could never turn and walk the other way For the words are carved into my very soul And the light exposes everything I know And all I've ever known Let him who had no sin Cast the first stone When the mirror's shown to me I see my own hypocrisy And weep upon the writing in the sand Words of truth that cut so deep You write the lines of mystery I stumble and the stone I held in hand is cast away When the mirror's shown to me I see my own hypocrisy And weep upon the writing in the sand [Repeat chorus]
