  • Holy mother, Lord and maker
    I am just a soldier of the free
    You know I was once a taker
    Lonely tired and sick, I could not see

    Captured with the evidence
    The seasons come and go
    A prisoner in his residence
    I'm haunted, don't you know?
    Don't you know?

    I live and die, I take the pressure
    I wear a coat of armor you can't see
    And now I feel the final measure
    Slow but quickly, this was meant to be

    Captured with the evidence
    The seasons come and go
    A prisoner in his residence
    I'm haunted, don't you know?

    Shake out the fear
    Until I fall
    And I will hear

    Here come the Giver
    You will be free
    Just like the river
    That leads to the sea

    As I look down from the tower
    I see the fields of hope that wait for me
    Bring the dawn upon the hour
    Ascending to the sky for you to see

    Captured with the evidence
    The seasons come and go
    A prisoner in his residence
    I'm haunted, don't you know?

    Shake out the fear
    Until I fall
    And I will hear

    Here come the Giver
    You will be free
    Just like the river
    That leads to the sea

    My flesh and blood

    I let my conscience suffer me
    And it broke my will somehow
    It shook me down, I'm on my knees
    But I won't be took to the bow

    I let my conscience suffer me
    And it broke my will somehow
    It shook me down, I'm on my knees
    But I won't be took to the bow

    Here come the Giver
    You will be free
    Here come the Giver
    You will be free Writer/s: DEREK SHERINIAN, GLENN WILLIAM HUGHES, KEVIN SHIRLEY
