lyrics

The Lizard

O lord provide me with strength to keep away
from dogs down in ditches howling at the rain.
With your hands on my head holding me aloft
I'll fly into your valley and hang upon your cross.

Will my eyes ever see your land where the air is gold?

Now Lazarus the lizard sheds his tail and runs
and flies have gathered their wings across the sun.
And your dogs are eager they howl a sinner's song.
They gnaw the ropes till I'm crawling on the ground.

Will my eyes never see your land till I'm lying cold?

The woods are dark, dear, cold and somewhat thick.
Like blood on a wolf's breath teeth upon your neck.
And your heart is racing it seems you've lost your way.
O lord provide me with strength enough to flee.

Will my eyes fall upon the hand that cuts your throat?
