The Carpenter lyrics

Who are you?
                     Man condemned to shine a salvation
                          throughout the centuries
                                   Why ?
                         Was the wine of the grail
                         too sour for man to drink
                               The carpenter
                             carved his anchor
                       on the dying souls of mankind
                    On the tomb of this unknown soldier
                          lay the tools of the one
                            who for us had died
                           Tools of the carpenter
                             The one they lick
                             The same old sick
                      dream of their precious saviour
                             Kiss them deep and
                               make them weep
                       over promises of eternal peace
                               The carpenter
                             carved his anchor
                       on the dying souls of mankind
                    On the tomb of this unknown soldier
                          lay the tools of the one
                            who for us has died
                           Tools of the carpenter
                                 I hear you
                   through the symphonic voices of nature
                      -the purity I could never doubt
                      They tell me to lie on the grass
                           and observe my saviour
                 The one crucified to the chirping of birds
                               The carpenter
                             carved his anchor
                       on the dying souls of mankind
                    On the tomb of this unknown soldier
                          lay the tools of the one
                            who for us has died
                           Tools of the carpenter
