A Thief in the Night
Oh, we loaded up our guns and we sacrificed our sons
Like we were the chosen ones who would kill
And would be killed to prove our love
We really knew what we knew, learned it all from watching you
'Cause you left us all these clues
Now we're certain but there's nothing we can prove
So we wait like a bride left on the altar of flames
Feels like time is running out
Oh, and what could we do, we did everything right
The holy spirit left like a thief in the night
The holy spirit left like a thief in the night
We received the one you sent, we believed with every cent
We built these walls with righteous hands
To keep out the lie that love makes no demands
But deep down it felt like someone was cooking the books
It was not adding up
Oh, but what could we do, we did everything right
The holy spirit left like a thief in the night
The holy spirit left like a thief in the night
Amazing love, how can it be that my god should die for me
Maybe he died for everyone
Like the world woke up and all his stuff was gone
Through the grief we could finally see
What was left and it was everything
Oh, but what could we see, we had faith and no sight
(The holy spirit left like a thief in the night)
Oh, we loved in the dark and sacrificed in the light
(The holy spirit left like a thief in the night)
Oh, and what could we do, we did everything right
(The holy spirit left like a thief in the night)
Oh, and what could we do, we did everything right
(The holy spirit left like a thief in the night)
Oh, the holy spirit left
Like we were the chosen ones who would kill
And would be killed to prove our love
We really knew what we knew, learned it all from watching you
'Cause you left us all these clues
Now we're certain but there's nothing we can prove
So we wait like a bride left on the altar of flames
Feels like time is running out
Oh, and what could we do, we did everything right
The holy spirit left like a thief in the night
The holy spirit left like a thief in the night
We received the one you sent, we believed with every cent
We built these walls with righteous hands
To keep out the lie that love makes no demands
But deep down it felt like someone was cooking the books
It was not adding up
Oh, but what could we do, we did everything right
The holy spirit left like a thief in the night
The holy spirit left like a thief in the night
Amazing love, how can it be that my god should die for me
Maybe he died for everyone
Like the world woke up and all his stuff was gone
Through the grief we could finally see
What was left and it was everything
Oh, but what could we see, we had faith and no sight
(The holy spirit left like a thief in the night)
Oh, we loved in the dark and sacrificed in the light
(The holy spirit left like a thief in the night)
Oh, and what could we do, we did everything right
(The holy spirit left like a thief in the night)
Oh, and what could we do, we did everything right
(The holy spirit left like a thief in the night)
Oh, the holy spirit left
