some say his eye is on the sparrow
the same would say he watches me
say the word divides the bone from marrow
but tongues of flame don’t really speak
so if the son rides down in a blood-soaked gown
the whole world at his feet
i’ll lay my body down on the blood-soaked ground
the birds can feast on me
‘cause i’ve been watched forever and i've never been seen
some say the way is straight and narrow
they say the truth will set you free
but when they fire it like an arrow
the fault is yours if you should bleed
so if the son rides down in a blood-soaked gown
the whole world at his feet
i’ll lay my body down on the blood-soaked ground
the birds can feast on me
‘cause i’ve been watched forever and i've never been seen
some say we all deserve the fire
there’s nothing good in you or me
i say if that’s what faith requires
i’ll free my doubt and give it wings
and if the son rides down in a blood-soaked gown
the whole world at his feet
i’ll lay my body down on the blood-soaked ground
the birds can feast on me
‘cause i’ve been watched forever and i've never been seen
