This Is What You've Waited For, pt 4

from Unto the Waste Land by mrmoth

/

lyrics

A strung up corpse on the edge of life
The limp summation of our heretofore strife
But my moment of doubt is not my moment without
And I've come through the moment with my teeth in my mouth
Backwards and forwards and out of the ground
Three times they've come to try to put me down
And for all the pain that we fought on through
There's still no pain to make me flinch from you

And all the whole world waits in keep tonight
For the fires of hell can't burn so bright
As the love I've kept all along inside
As the dream that still plays on my mind
I will never abandon you
They can't put up a wall I won't tear straight through
Now there's no more work left for me to do
Eternity can pass while I wait for you

Bring all the women of bitter reproach
Bring all the men with their knives in their coats
Bring all the judgements and claims on me
Bring all the armies and watch them bleed
Line up the vultures, the worms of the earth
The saprophytes will each have their turn
Bring on the doctors, the counsel of priests
I'll still be alive when they start to feed

And all the whole world waits in keep tonight
For the fires of hell can't burn so bright
As the love I've kept all along inside
As the dream that still plays on my mind
I will never abandon you
They can't put up a wall I won't tear straight through
Now there's no more work left for me to do
Eternity can pass while I wait for you

None of them can stand between is
In the way of our destiny
I will never abandon you
I will never abandon you

And all the whole world waits in keep tonight
For the fires of hell can't burn so bright
As the love I've kept all along inside
As the dream that still plays on my mind
I will never abandon you
They can't put up a wall I won't tear straight through
Now there's no more work left for me to do
Eternity can pass while I wait for you
