The Mercy Cage – Redemption [stand] lyrics

Raise your hands to the heavens
We are stained by time
Take these shattered wings and fly
Traverse the divide

There exists right now my love
A certain distance between you and I
We are set upon by the great and terrible lie

A tear upon the surface
Reflecting bent and wrong
Over fleeting shards of dreams
Don't speak now
I understand...

Stand beneath me
Let me drink of you
This cup full of lies
With arms wide open
Arms cover everything

Like grey machines
We sleepwalk through these
Gentle acts of cruelty
Arms wide open
I covet everything

Every waking moment
Every wasted frame in time
Everyday
You let me off my knees and make me stand

Smiling through this charade
Stand like nothing ever was wrong
Be my lover
Be my wife
At least looks me in the eye for once
And make me stand...
