10. Promised Land II (4:47)
Hey redeemer
Now what's become on 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 to 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 scracht my back and I scracht 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 to 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 brokens dreams
Thousands of tradegies
Tried to run from their destiny
Like moths to a flame
Driven by vanity
They been off to Jerusalem
Chasing a dream
Calling on me
We re just trading in needs
You ve been facing heaven
You were lost to left alone
You re welcome to my home and
Found another heaven
It was you who took my hand
Come into the promised land
Now what's become on 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 to 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 scracht my back and I scracht 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 to 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 brokens dreams
Thousands of tradegies
Tried to run from their destiny
Like moths to a flame
Driven by vanity
They been off to Jerusalem
Chasing a dream
Calling on me
We re just trading in needs
You ve been facing heaven
You were lost to left alone
You re welcome to my home and
Found another heaven
It was you who took my hand
Come into the promised land
