Gray David Flesh Lyrics

Flesh Lyrics

As the bell must strike the hour

 As the west must stab the sun

 So our hearts

 must head the flow

 of deeper tides that run

 Far beyond this bare indifference

 That prosperity esteems

 Where the spirit

 raves and dances

 Through our very veins

 

 At winters edge you found me

 By the fields of wild gold

 My hands still filled with ashes

 From fires long cold

 You pulled me

 from the wreckage

 of bitterness and blame

 flung open the page

 And put some flesh on

 the bones of my dreams

 

 On the streets

 the blossom snowing

 And the drum is beating slow

 To hear you speak so clear

 Well I'm slicing through the fear

 Setting all the beacons

 blazing, baby oh!

 It's staring out plainer than ever

 Brighter than all the fools

 gold that gleams

 It's simply now or never

 Putting flesh on the bones

 of my dreams

 

 Putting flesh on the

 bones of my dreams 

 Putting flesh on the

 bones of my dreams

 

 And they can plunder

 the cave of sorrows

 They can strip the gallery bare

 Try to build a fence

 around the visions

 In our heads, choke every spark

 In a cloak of despair

 But we got something

 they can't stifle

 With their price tags

 and picture frames

 Got a flower for every rifle

 Putting flesh on the

 bones of my dreams
