lyrics

fell this forest for my walls
fell my forest for these walls
if i don't suffer something every tree will fall so i will
fell this forest for my walls

oh sweet nothing of my cross
oh sweet nothing of my cross
if one don't worship nothing everything returns to something
oh speak nothing of my cross

time, my blood is on your hands
time, my blood is on your hands
if words don't fail the meaning, everyone will understand that
time, my blood is on your hands

ma, don't ask where i have been
no, don't ask where i have been
buildings fall and rivers wind up built upon cause they have dried up
ma, don't ask where i have been

six white horses in these walls
six white horses in these walls
when this building tumbles down will she to free me come round and
yes, there’re horses in these walls

jesus christ don’t let me down
jesus christ don’t let me down
i just barely climbed up on this hill to die just like you taught us
jesus christ don’t let me down

fell this forest for my walls
fell my forest for these walls
if i don't suffer something every tree will fall so i will
fell this forest for my walls
