lyrics

I'll be your exiled prince if you'll be the fire that calls to me
And I will take every miracle and plague that falls to me
'Cause I walked through the valley
Overshadowed by death
Ten dimensions deeper than dimensions of breath
I knelt barefoot in your presence
Just to learn all of the lessons
That are due to me

Just like the waters to blood,
Just like a staff to a serpent,
Just like the frogs in the mud,
I will be your hand and your servant.

Gimme the blood of the lamb sacrificed in the light
And I will save you from the angel that comes for you in the night
'Cause I can part your Sea of Reeds
And plunge into your deep
If you lay me by the well
And sing me to sleep
I will plead for your mercy
If you bleed for my heresy
Until the stones weep

You can take me through the desert
I'll eat the manna from your hand
Take me up to the mountain top
And deny me the promised land

Just like the waters to blood,
Just like the staff to a snake
Just like the frogs in the mud
I will do what ever it takes!
