With The Tired Eyes Of Faith by The Swirling Eddies Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1995

[Verse 1]
There's your hope
Nailed to the wood
There's your dream
Buried in the ground
Here's your body
Battered, bloodied, and broken
Here's your peace
Teetering on the edge of the world

[Chorus 1]
You're kneeling somewhere in the middle
Of the passion play
But with the tired eyes of faith
You'll see your resurrection day

[Verse 2]
Feel the dust
Clogging up your veins
There's your secret
Burning in the fire
Here's your heart
Cold, lonely and desperate
Here's all creation
Groaning for the day of deliverance
[Chorus 2]
Your name is carved here in the headstone
The sky is thick with birds of prey
But with the tired eyes of faith
You'll see your resurrection day

[Bridge]
Resurrection day will come
As surely as the rising sun
Death will fight a holy war
But it will live no more
Love will even the score
Resurrection day

[Verse 3]
Here's your trust
Betrayed with a kiss
There's your courage
Thrown to the lions
Here's your soul
Soiled, tattered, and threadbare
Here's your love
Cast out and shunned like a leper

[Chorus 1]
You're kneeling somewhere in the middle
Of the passion play
But with the tired eyes of faith
You'll see your resurrection day
With the tired eyes of faith
You've seen resurrection day
