Hey redeemer now what`s become of me?
Taken in by promise, awakening in grief
Collecting us like puppets you instrumentalize
A frigid trepidation in a million puppet eyes
God gave His word just to let us down, where is He now?
You've been facing heaven
You were lost and left alone, you're welcome to my home and
Found another heaven
It was you who took my hand, come into the promised land
You scratched my back and I scratched yours
It's you who makes decisions, I just open up the doors
Whining in the gutter they forget their sanctity
Welcome to my clockwork vanity machinery
You gave your word, you let me down what am I now?
You've been facing heaven
You were lost and left alone, you're welcome to my home and
Found another heaven
It was you who took my hand, come into the promised land
Oh as far as the eye can see
They're bent in submission, empty inside
An army of scarecrows like me, thousands of broken dreams
Thousands of tragedies tried to run from their destiny
Oh, like moths to a flame, driven by vanity
They've been off to Jerusalem, chasing a dream, calling on me
We're just trading in needs
in place of the guitar solo
x2
You've been facing heaven
You were lost and left alone, you're welcome to my home and
Found another heaven
It was you who took my hand, come into the promised land
