Whispers of Gethsemane by David Knopfler Lyrics

Said the Lord to Cain: "Vengeance is mine"
I am the same, the vengeful kind
Some are cruel, some are blind
Some betray a mark of sign

Said Cain to the Lord: "The sin was mine"
Said the Lord to Cain: "Be ye kind'

Standing on the crossroads lookin' for a sign
The wind howling on the Border line
Throughout eternity, sworn to love again
While whispers of Gethsemane catch you one time dreamin'

(Dreamin', dreamin')

In predatory darkness I'm reachin' for your hand
If all you see is madness in this bewildered land
Knowing what you want from me, you can understand
You know just how hard it is to take me as I am (I am, I am)
Someone's gonna break if they don't bend
(Whispers of Gethsemane, whispers of Gethsemane, whispers of Gethsemane)

Yes, I could be your Judas, come to kiss away that pain
Could be your Jesus, come give up everything
And be redeemed, come and be redeemed

For some release comes easy, for some there's none at all
Paradise means nothin' at all if your back's against the wall
"Spells only love can teach", that's what she offered me
"It only takes a kiss to reach and the past will set you free"
The truth will set you free, freedom, and whispers of Gethsemane

(Whispers of Gethsemane, whispers of Gethsemane, whispers of Gethsemane)

Could be your Judas, come kiss away that pain
(Whispers of Gethsemane)
Could be your Jesus, give up everything
(Whispers of Gethsemane, whispers of Gethsemane, whispers of Gethsemane)
Be redeemed
(Whispers of Gethsemane, whispers of Gethsemane, whispers of Gethsemane)
(Whispers of Gethsemane, whispers of Gethsemane, whispers of Gethsemane)
