John Loudermilk Anthema Lyrics

Anthema Lyrics

Girl: "love you" she said as though it were true

"falling head over heels into you,

now I am pregnant with our baby boy forever your lover...and suffer" 

baby boy: "giver of life and the nail in my soul this is anthema,

the story grows old still the same boy that was sewn from your ground,

it's the weight of you pulling me down" 

boy: "i love you" he said and knew it was true 

girl: "I can't be in this marriage with you now

this is our second child in my womb no longer your lover and sufferer" 

baby boy: "rivers of love and a trust so betrayed this is anthema the bed
that we've made,

still the same boy that was sewn from your ground,

it's the weight of you pulling me down

and you lie as the vultures surround the height that I push up

my halo could come crushing like a wave...

giver of life and the nail in my soul, this is anthema the story grows old,

still the same boy that was screaming inside

pushing my youth through the years of my life...

forever we trust in forever this sound it's the weight of you pulling me
down.

It's anthema my voice and this sound"
