Visions of the Sea

Tears pour down like ashes
And fall into the sea
Visions came from foxhole dreams
The lion the lamb and the gun

We wander in Jerusalem towers
The built with bullets and bones
At night I hear the widow weep
'cause she is all alone

And Gandhi prayed the Harlingen
DC was marched by a king
The thoughts of tranquil days are lost
Like letters cast to the sea

But you lay your love in the line
And will fall like the haze in the rain
Watch as you paint our names in the sky
Then rise like a spark from a flame

The waters tear through New Orleans
With boys left to die on the streets
And miracles and sight of girls
Call a god damn mistake

The harlot looks to her broken stars
To see they were diamonds all along
And the orphan finally finds a name
Def man finds hope in a song

But you lay your love in the line
And will fall like the haze in the rain
Watch as you paint our names in the sky
Then rise like a spark from a flame

But you lay your love in the line
And will fall like the haze in the rain
Watch as you paint our names in the sky
Then rise like a spark from a flame
