Book of Life
Blow the horn blow the horn
Give a voice to all the mournful souls who search to be reborn tonight
Forgiveness like the sharpest knife
Oh God inscribe me in the Book of Life
I've been hungry since before the dawn
Everybody's empty but it's not for food
Everybody's praying here to be rescued
Examining our sins it's hard not to conclude
We're screwed
The worlds in flames these maddened days of black and white
No shades of grey to keep at bay the darkest night
There's never been a song that could save a life
Hmm hmm...
Blow the horn blow the horn
Give a voice to all the mournful souls who search to be reborn tonight
Forgiveness like the sharpest knife
Oh God inscribe me in the Book of Life
I've been hungry since before the dawn
Tired and full of uncried tears I still can't shed
Stored up with the unsaid things we never said
You wanted forgiveness I wasn't ready yet
Now you're dead
To all the souls who lost themselves I sing for you
Apart from that there's nothing more that I can do
And though I know it's useless it kind of helps me through
Hmm hmm...
Blow the horn blow the horn
Give a voice to all the mournful souls who search to be reborn tonight
Forgiveness like the sharpest knife
Oh God inscribe me in the Book of Life
I've been hungry since before the dawn
I want to see my children out in the world
Grown into women from little girls
Why wouldn't you want that too?
The older you get the more friends you lose
Next year I won't disappear in fire or flood
Next year I'll still be here to do some good
I won't be taken by pills or thrills or wine
I should be doing fine
Blow the horn blow the horn
Give a voice to all the mournful souls who search to be reborn tonight
Forgiveness like the sharpest knife
Oh God inscribe me in the Book of Life
I've been hungry since before the dawn
I've been hungry since before the dawn
Give a voice to all the mournful souls who search to be reborn tonight
Forgiveness like the sharpest knife
Oh God inscribe me in the Book of Life
I've been hungry since before the dawn
Everybody's empty but it's not for food
Everybody's praying here to be rescued
Examining our sins it's hard not to conclude
We're screwed
The worlds in flames these maddened days of black and white
No shades of grey to keep at bay the darkest night
There's never been a song that could save a life
Hmm hmm...
Blow the horn blow the horn
Give a voice to all the mournful souls who search to be reborn tonight
Forgiveness like the sharpest knife
Oh God inscribe me in the Book of Life
I've been hungry since before the dawn
Tired and full of uncried tears I still can't shed
Stored up with the unsaid things we never said
You wanted forgiveness I wasn't ready yet
Now you're dead
To all the souls who lost themselves I sing for you
Apart from that there's nothing more that I can do
And though I know it's useless it kind of helps me through
Hmm hmm...
Blow the horn blow the horn
Give a voice to all the mournful souls who search to be reborn tonight
Forgiveness like the sharpest knife
Oh God inscribe me in the Book of Life

Blow the horn blow the horn
Give a voice to all the mournful souls who search to be reborn tonight
Forgiveness like the sharpest knife
Oh God inscribe me in the Book of Life
I've been hungry since before the dawn
I've been hungry since before the dawn
