Slave to Your Mind by The Neal Morse Band Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I thought that I was done
That I had now arrived
But he showed me so much more
Amazing to my sight
A room consumed with dust
A cloud that filled the air
The filth of sin and shame
Of corruption and despair
Then I saw myself
Even after all I'd heard
Breathing in the dust
Choking out the word
Then a woman came with water
And I drank it deep and long
We spoke in secret words
We sang a sacred song
[Verse 2]
I saw in my dream
The interpreter and the man
Behind a wall of flame
He took him by the hand
He took him by the hand
The fire was a gift
But there was one about
Wet blankets in his fists
He tried to put it out
He tried to put it out
[Chorus]
And he said
You have not been changed
Feel your guilt and shame
You've been left behind
You're a slave to your mind
[Verse 3]
I saw someone else
On the other side
Pure oil flowed from him
'Til fire filled the sky
Ahh
[Chorus]
You have not been changed
Feel your guilt and shame
You've been reassigned
You're a slave to your mind
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
You have not been changed
Feel your guilt and shame
You've been left behind
You're a slave to your mind
[Instrumental]
I thought that I was done

But he showed me so much more
Amazing to my sight

A cloud that filled the air

Of corruption and despair

Even after all I'd heard
Breathing in the dust
Choking out the word
Then a woman came with water
And I drank it deep and long
We spoke in secret words
We sang a sacred song
[Verse 2]
I saw in my dream
The interpreter and the man
Behind a wall of flame
He took him by the hand
He took him by the hand
The fire was a gift
But there was one about
Wet blankets in his fists
He tried to put it out
He tried to put it out
[Chorus]
And he said
You have not been changed
Feel your guilt and shame

You have not been changed
Feel your guilt and shame
You've been left behind
You're a slave to your mind
