Book Of Life

Everybody's empty but it's not for food

And everybody's praying here to be rescued

Examining our sins it is hard not to conclude

We're screwed

The world's in flames

These maddened days of black and white

No shades of grey to keep at bay the darkest night

There's never been a song that could save a life

Aha.

CHORUS:

Blow the horn, blow the horn

Give a voice to all the mournful souls

Who search to be reborn tonight

Forgiveness like the sharpest knife

Oh God inscribe me in the Book of Life

I've been hungry since before the dawn

END OF CHORUS

Tired and full of un-cried tears I still can't she'd

Stored up with the unsaid things we never said

You wanted forgiveness

I wasn't ready yet

Now you're dead

To all the souls who lost themselves I sing for you

Apart from that there's nothing more that I can do

And though I know it's useless

It kind of helps me through

Mm hmm

(CHORUS)

I want to see my children out in the world

Grown into women from little girls

Why wouldn't you that too?

The older you get the more friends you lose

Next year I won't disappear in fire or flood

Next year I'll still be here to do some good

I won't be taken by pills or thrills or wine

I should be doing fine

(CHORUS)

# I've been hungry since before the dawn #
