Face Down in the Dirt

Verse 1

Face down in the dirt

Crosses bearing fruit laced and graced

Pleasure of the cursed

Spell thrown around down

Puddles form from ashes of the burnt

Sun comes up I taste the air

Verse 2

Your essence cant help think

Of the souls I hurt

Worst of it will pass

Like the prophet who cried when the people danced

Filled with love and hope that one day

The promise he told would come true

Chorus

Take them away to the promised land

But a lie can only withstand

The cracks that appear so long

Till it crumbles and falls

Beauty remains

Verse 3

Fingernails caked with sacrifice

Every blessing was a blight

Watched the faithful swallow hooks

Smiled while they choked on light

Chorus

Take them away to the promised land

But a lie can only withstand

The cracks that appear so long

Till it crumbles and falls

Beauty remains

Bridge

Crumbles and falls

Crumbles and falls

Prophet on his knees

Screaming through the walls

Outro

Beauty remains

Beauty remains

Face down

Face down
