Amputations Lyrics by Atombender

Wait of the World

2012

[Verse 1]
I read the doctor's story late last night in bed
Of the preacher and the teacher and the prostitute
I never would've seen myself in her shoes
But the list of all the things she's done rang so true

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I am the luckiest one
I've faced no fire and I've faced no gun
So why do I still feel like I'm so far gone?

[Chorus 1]
A cleansing fire, a cleansing rain
We all need to start over again
Without a past but with an amputation

[Verse 2]
It's hate, deceit, and cancer
It's the spreading of disease
Past and present, thieves and liars
Now and formerly
It's the greatest lie ever told
In the greatest story ever told
And it makes my soul sick
But my body is weak
So it's killing me

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I thought I was bulletproof once
So I tried the taste of sin on my tongue
Just a little bit, then a little more, and I was gone

[Chorus 2]
A cleansing fire, a cleansing rain
We all need to start over again
Without a past but with an amputation
A cleansing fire, a cleansing flood
To wash both of my hands of your blood
I need to see what forgiveness really means
Another sun, another day
A chance to start all over again
So awake my soul with the sunrise
(Awake, awake, rise up!)

[Bridge]
There's no way I understand completely
I'm streets-behind even knowing one percent of it
About birth and death and birth again
And all these earthly things
I've bought into lies with my life not well spent

[Chorus 3]
A cleansing fire, a cleansing rain
We all need to start over again
Without a past but with an amputation
A cleansing fire, a cleansing rain
We all need to start over again
Without a past but with an amputation
A cleansing fire, a cleansing rain
We all need to start over again
Without these past lives, without these limbs
Without these past lives, without these limbs

[Outro]
Hallelujah
Hallelu
