[Lyrics for All You Bleed – Burning Crosses]
Theres crosses on the hilltop, a crucifixion underway,
And though i’ll be going, i don’t even know their names,
I’ve always thought it funny how we live just for the day,
But when we need a hand we all know how to pray,
Hmmmm….
I’ve never walked on water, never turned it into wine,
I’ve never been a savior, though I’ve tried to be that kind,
I’ve fallen on my face, but I’ve gotten up every time,
I raised my family and i taught them about my life,
So i say hey…maybe thats good enough,
Good enough to let me in,
Burning crosses, that i hold up to the sky,
Burning crosses, and i think I’ll be burning my crosses…till i die,
I went to church late last night, walked alone through the snow,
There it was so warm and bright though its not where i planned to go,
Something just called me in and in silence there i stood,
For the first time in my life i felt peaceful and understood,
And a voice said hey…well maybe thats good enough,
Good enough to get you in,
Burning crosses, that i hold up to the sky,
Burning crosses, and i think I’ll be burning my crosses…till i die,
(Musical interlude)
Today i lost a friend, he went to sleep while i held his hand,
I laid it back on the bed it was all so very sad,
But his last words chilled me, deep into my bones,
He said…i was so frightened but now i know I’m not alone,
And i said hey…maybe thats good enough,
Glad to see that you got in,
Burning crosses, that i hold up to the sky,
Burning crosses, and i think I’ll be burning my crosses…till i die,
Theres crosses on the hilltop…
