  • Your hands are folded
    Your eyes are closing
    Your words are broken
    Your eyes are dry

    I am weak looking at you
    A pillar of truth
    Turning to dust
    I am weak looking at you
    A pillar of truth
    Turning to dust

    You are your mother's child
    You're a mother of a mother of a mother now
    Raised in the age of the milkman
    I can't claim to understand

    I am weak looking at you
    A pillar of truth
    Turning to dust
    I am weak looking at you
    A pillar of truth
    Turning to dust

    Lord, prepare me
    For the shadows
    For the sparrows
    At my window
    Lord, have mercy
    On my descendants
    For they know not
    What they do
    For they know not
    Who you are
    And they know not
    What to do

    I, the anchor
    I'm slowly sinking
    Into darkness
    Yet unknown
    But the fading
    Light around me
    Is full of faces
    Who carry my name

    I am weak looking at you
    A pillar of truth
    Turning to dust
    I am weak looking at you
    A pillar of truth
    Turning to dust

    Lord, be near me
    My final hour
    I once had sight
    But now I'm blind
    Oh, I tried to be
    A second coming
    And if I was
    Nobody knew
    If my throat can't sing
    Then my soul
    Screams out to you

    I am weak looking at you
    A pillar of truth
    Turning to dust

    I am weak looking at you
    A pillar of truth
