I asked the man who brought me here
He had a girl, he had an heir
I asked the man who left his home
He said he had a heart of stone
You ask me 'Have we lost the war?'
How can we be so insecure?
For I have waited patiently
But I can"t control that part of me
But I"m not calling for
A resurrection, no
And I"m not waiting on
The hallelujah ghost
He had to strengthen his resolve
He cut the ties, and left them off
I asked him where the bounds were kept
He said 'with her' and there he wept
'But I"m not calling for
A resurrection, no
And I"m not waiting on
Some hallelujah ghost'
