There is a curtain hangs before me
Steadied by the sturdiest of steal
I couldn’t cut it with the sharpest iron
My own strength is useless to its strong intricate weave

But I can hear the earth move with their dancing
And I can hear the laughter on the other side
And if time is all we need then who is sharpening the steal
Ooh hell just give me a latter to climb

But cheating only takes you to the fences
To feed freedom through the chicken wire
Entertains your most gullible senses
A game when played cannot fulfill the root of your desire

So ill retrace my steps back to the river
Where I first learned to use my hands
Where I once lived with grace
Love and compassion for the world

Oh heaven
Give me a second chance
God would you send me somebody who understands the fury

Who understands the fury well
He’s gonna have to be a fighter
Gonna have to know the story
Strong enough to tell it to me when I’ve lost my head
