The Wisdom of Your Ways
Back

Songs Lyrics

Do you desire to prepare me for the dust of death
Do you want your words to cease
Do you not like those who are jealous for your love
When so many turn from you in retreat
Do you have so many suitors - did you ever have such a one as this
One who was as beautiful in deed as appearance
One who's arrow never missed
What is the wisdom of your ways?

Do you desire to fade away and leave your children all alone
Why did you send your shepherd just to take him
When he was leading your flock home
Was the crystal meant to be broken
Was the perfect piece never ment to fit
Some are taken in their time - some are taken right in the midst of it
What is the wisdom of your ways

Is this what you desire
To punish those who warned of your punishment
To steal from those who brought thieves to justice
To satisfy the bat with the light of the sun
What is the wisdom of your ways

Do you desire to be a widow - veiled in black and hidden from sight
There was one who brought you sweet flowers and sang praises to you each night
What is the wisdom of your ways - Is this what you desire
To silence the voice that swore we would never be silent again
To cut down the tree who stood against the wind and would not bend
To destroy the destroyer of your enemies
What is the wisdom of your ways

Did your nightingale sing to sweetly - was it not meant to be so clear
Was the song she sang too simple - too simple for them to hear
Do you want to be denied again - who will stand up for your cause
We have no hands to grasp - we have only claws
What is the wisdom of your ways - Is this what you desire
To cut short the life of one who gave his life over to you
To remove a rose among thorns when you know there are so few
To slaughter the bull that pulled your yoke
What is the wisdom of your ways
