Wilderness of Thorns Lyrics

(Lyrics: A Lee. Music: A Lee & I Arkley)

In this wilderness of thorns
All you offer me
Is a garland of tears
And to suffer alone
Bleeding my hope
I am brought down
All you promise me
Is the agony to come

My existence is crushed
Dead since birth
I fed on your hope,
At your feast of comfort
Weary of life
i cried out to you
But all you offered me
Was the agony to come
Alone again
In these desert lands
I breathe the fire
Of your wrath
I have suffered
Too many days
Under these harsh skies

Now I walk,
With fire burnt skin
And I scream
For healing to come
Forty days
That never end
No bread but these stones
The agony to come

Memory of nails
Tearing my flesh
I hang before you
In the wilderness of thorns

I am parched,
I have nothing
I am broken
In the wilderness of thorns
