《On Distant Shores》歌词

[00:00:00] On Distant Shores - Five Iron Frenzy

[00:00:25] I have been scarred so deep by life and cold

[00:00:29] Despair

[00:00:31] And brittle bones were broken far beyond repair

[00:00:38] I have leveled lies so deep the truth may never

[00:00:42] Find

[00:00:44] And inside my faithless heart I stole things never mine

[00:00:50] If mercy falls upon the broken and the poor

[00:00:56] Dear father I will see you there on distant shores

[00:01:15] I have toiled for countless years and ever felt the

[00:01:19] Cost

[00:01:21] And I've been burned by this world's cold

[00:01:24] Like leaves beneath the frost

[00:01:28] On my knees I've crawled to you

[00:01:31] Bleeding myself dry

[00:01:34] But the price of life is more than I could

[00:01:37] Ever buy

[00:01:40] If mercy falls upon the broken and the poor

[00:01:47] Dear father I will see you there on distant shores

[00:02:05] And off of the blocks

[00:02:08] I was headstrong and proud

[00:02:11] At the front of the line for the card carrying

[00:02:16] Highbrowed

[00:02:17] With both eyes fastened tight yet unscarred from the fight

[00:02:24] Running at full tilt my sword pulled from I'ts hilt

[00:02:30] It's funny how these things can slip away our frail

[00:02:36] Deeds

[00:02:38] The last will wave good bye

[00:02:42] It's funny how the hope will bleed away

[00:02:47] The citadels we build and fortify good bye

[00:02:55] Night came and I broke my stride

[00:02:58] I swallowed hard but never cried

[00:03:01] When grace was easy to forget

[00:03:05] I'd denounce the hypocrites

[00:03:08] Casting first stones killing my own

[00:03:14] You would unscale my blind eyes

[00:03:17] And I stood battered but more wise

[00:03:20] Fighting to accelerate

[00:03:23] Shaking free from crippling weight

[00:03:27] With resilience unsurpassed

[00:03:29] I clawed my way to you at last

[00:03:33] And on my knees I wept at your feet

[00:03:39] I finally believed that you still loved me

[00:03:46] Healing hands of god

[00:03:50] Have mercy on our unclean souls once again

[00:03:58] Jesus Christ light of the world

[00:04:03] Burning bright within our hearts forever

[00:04:11] Freedom means love without condition

[00:04:18] Without a beginning or an end

[00:04:23] Here's my heart let it be forever yours

[00:04:30] Only you can make every new day seem so new
