I have come into your house
You say there's something I should know by now and I vow to hear you out
But as you speak, how I feel the sting
Like the hackles on a dog's back I rise up to meet
The words you spoke in the middle of the night
They fall heavy like a hammer on my mind
You are the light in the darkness, you're the fire on the vine
Oh my son, I have known your ways
But I'm the gale that'll rattle your gate; you shudder, I make you shake
You will find what you did not seek
A road less narrow, a way not steep
Oh my child
Don't you lose your place
Remember my table
Remember my face
And the things I told you in the middle of the night
They fall heavy like a hammer on your mind
I am the light in the darkness, I'm the fire on the vine
You turn away
I'm left alone
Then came a sign
Then came the Revelation
And I said,
You, you will not dig a hole in me
You will not chop down my tree
Or hold me under the water
No and you, you will not dig a hole in me
You will not chop down my tree
Or hold me under the water
You say there's something I should know by now and I vow to hear you out
But as you speak, how I feel the sting
Like the hackles on a dog's back I rise up to meet
The words you spoke in the middle of the night
They fall heavy like a hammer on my mind
You are the light in the darkness, you're the fire on the vine
Oh my son, I have known your ways
But I'm the gale that'll rattle your gate; you shudder, I make you shake
You will find what you did not seek
A road less narrow, a way not steep
Oh my child
Don't you lose your place
Remember my table
Remember my face
And the things I told you in the middle of the night
They fall heavy like a hammer on your mind
I am the light in the darkness, I'm the fire on the vine
You turn away
I'm left alone
Then came a sign
Then came the Revelation
And I said,
You, you will not dig a hole in me
You will not chop down my tree
Or hold me under the water
No and you, you will not dig a hole in me
You will not chop down my tree
Or hold me under the water
