And to love: a god
And to fear: a flame
And to burn a crowd that has a name
And to right or wrong
And to meek or strong
It is known, just scream it from the wall
I've willed, I've walked, I've read
I've talked, I know, I know
I've been there before
Hey, now we won't be raped
Hey, now we won't be scarred like that
It's the sun that burns
It's the wheel that turns
It's the way we sing that makes them dream
And to Christ: a cross
And to me: a chair
I will sit and earn the ransom from up here
It's easier not to be wise
And measure these things by your brain
I sank into Eden with you
Alone in the church by and by
I'll read to you here, save your eyes
You'll need them, your boat is at sea
Your anchor is up, you've been swept away
And the greatest of teachers won't hesitate
To leave you there, by yourself, chained to fate
I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you
Fear is not the end of this
It's easier not to be great
And measure these things by your eyes
We long to be here by his resolve
Alone in the church by and by
To cradle the baby in space
And leave you there by yourself chained to fate
I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you
Fear is not the end of this
Oh, now, we took it back to far
Only love can save us now
All these riddles that you burn
All come swarming back to you
All these rhythms that you hide
Only solve can save us now
All these riddles that you burn
yeah, yeah, yeah
I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you
Fear is not the end of this
