Here we go, fallin' over the edge now
The great Divine is split wide-open
Tell me which side of Hell, you think we'll land on
And if we make it to the pearly gates
Then tell me will our accolades,
Earn for us an eternal date in Heaven?
What filthy piles of sand our lives make
If we just sit beside the shore and never change
We'll take what you believe and turn it into a forest
Give me a set of matches and we'll sing a chorus
That we burned down everything that kept us back
So we loosen up the rope tangled 'round your throat now
Like flowers of Spring, your words will bloom out
Because they're destined to go up on the mountain tops
Oh, nobody cares what you believe until they see what you do
So take a step off of the porch, there's a dream to walk through
It's only when you die to yourself that you're made new
And Danny signed up for war but didn't know
If all the blood he shed on the ground would change a thing at all
We'll take what you believe and turn it into a forest
Give me a set of matches and we'll sing a chorus
That we burned down everything that kept us back
Tell your Father you love Him
Then let's get in my car, drive as fast as we can
'Til we get to where we think we will be saved-
From the world and everything
Oh, yeah, man, grab it while the pot is hot
These words of mine are sharp enough to cut a hole in the wall
The one you built around your heart to never let no one in
You're tough as nails but fragile as you show the love is in
We are the pictures on the wall you wish your camera took
We are the echo in the hallway that is leading you down
That dusty road your filthy feet don't care to walk down
But what you do, you're bound to here
I once was lost but now I'm found
We'll take what you believe and turn it into a forest
Give me a set of matches and we'll sing a chorus
That we burned down everything that kept us back
Tell your Father you love Him
Then let's get in my car, drive as fast as we can
'Til we get to where we think we will be saved-
From the world and everything
The great Divine is split wide-open
