[Verse 1] Well, its hope, its hope that has me staring to the burning sky I know, I know theres something hidden on the other side I woke, I woke with such a feeling I could never rise Now Im gazing skyward til the sun just burns me blind Burns me blind, burns me blind Burns me blind, burns me blind [Verse 2] Well, one drank of the holy water, hoping for the light While the other slipped a sewing bodkin right inside his eye And they ran out from the city calling, collecting salts and lye Crack and crush it, burn it maybe, baby, find the god inside God inside, god inside, yeah God inside, god inside [Chorus] We know theres something to which were blind Because its hope that pulls us forward til we die [Verse 3] Ollie ollie oxen free, come out from where you hide Tell me, tell me what you want from me, I promise Ill provide Ill drink your poison, Ill keep you company, serve you til I die Come on, crack Pandoras Box for me, blind me with the light With the light, with the light With the light, with the light [Verse 4] Learn the language of our holy fathers, retrace the sacred rites Plot and chart the arc of Halleys Comet, floating through the night I drain my blood until my chalky body floats closer to the sky I dance upon the edge of death, just to prove that Im alive Im alive, Im alive Im alive, Im alive [Chorus] We know theres something to which were blind Because its hope that pulls us forward til we die
