lyrics

We're just shadows cast
From some brighter place
With depth and form we have
Just echoes of your grace
Studied every page
Trying to prepare
For your agent's embrace
No fingers crossed in prayer

So your impossible designs shepherd my flock into the sky
But oh lord you left me behind, how long until I can know why?

Let the judge send us
Wherever we deserve
Your script was all I'd trust
I only meant to serve
The good lord said "Give in..."
To "...eat your fill of flesh"
Do as the cherubim
Just as the good lord says

So your impossible designs shepherd my flock into the sky
But oh lord you left me behind, how long until I can know why?

I'm a shell of a thousand ghosts
My lord you're only one of those

So your impossible designs shepherd my flock into the sky
But oh lord you left me behind, how long until I can know why?

Follow flies to hell
And moths up to heaven
Lord just treat them well
Take care of all my friends
