Lead Us Not

Lead us not unto temptation
Lead us not unto temptation
Lead us not unto temptation

What if the earth opened up beneath our feet
Then all tomorrows might ignite on borrowed wings
And what if we saw through a million eyes set free
Would we see bright lights surrounding, cleansing thee?

Lead us not
Lead us not

Electric barbed wire rattle out that page
Endless shadows that would bind you in blind rage

Lead us not
Lead us not unto temptation

And what if the language that was spoken was not our own
Then you could bless my weary body tongue to bone
And what if love was but a breath while falling down
Well I might think in lesser shades while trailing you
All from palest grey to paler blue
And have you found it, do you like it?
Yes I do

And what if I sucked you dry to folds
And what if you let me?
Would you become what I no longer wished see?
Empty core obsidian
And the irresdescent red fire strangling you

And what if every dream you left behind was plausible
Then time would tear itself assunder nasty wound
A splitting image jagged members dead too soon
And what if you were not yourself but bigger than
Then I would surely fall in love with you... again

Lead us not unto temptation
Lead us not unto temptation
Lead us not
Lead us not unto temptation

Lead us not unto temptation

Lead us not unto temptation

Lead us not
