Weary Ground

Keeping watch while the whole world sleep (Listen close)
Feel the earth toss and turn and week (Hear its voice)
A wearied ground opens up to roar (Hear it roar)
"How much longer will this pain endure?"

We're waiting for a better day
The shadows gone, all things pass away
Listen close and hear it say
"We're cursed and we're dying"

Hills shake and mountains quake (Mountains shaking)
Earth's fires have come awake
No words, but hear it speak (Hear it speaking)
As the deep calls to the deep
Beauty, beauty mixed with dread -
Hanging by a thread

We're waiting for a better day
The shadows gone, all things pass away
Listen close and hear it say
"We're cursed and we're dying"

Skies wake, the heavens ache (Heavens aching)
Thunder and lightning break
O glory come, come like a thief (Like a thief)
Bring us relief from grief

Still on and on, we're waiting for the hour
On and on, our cries are growing louder
How long must darkness reign in a world so violent
While we toss and turn in pain, in vain, and it's still so silent

Waiting, wait for what's ahead -
These tattered rags will be shed

We're waiting for a better day
The shadows gone, all things pass away
Listen and hear it say
"We're cursed and we're dying"

The hills shake with mountains quaking
The earth's fires have now awakened
No words, but hear it speak
"We're cursed and we're dying"
"We're cursed and we're dying"
