18 Bullet Holes

Waterdeep

18 bullet holes in the body of a priest


They say he was eating a hot dog when the ammunition was released.


They say he was always fat and lazy but he was an awfully nice guy.


That's just one more death to show you you never know when you're gonna die.


You might be facing the beast





Sometimes, God, I feel like I'm living in a bone grinding mill


And every time I hear the sound I can barely stand still


It's a thing I can't quite make out sometimes but it seems to keep getting louder-


One more body from the valley of the dry bones getting ground up into powder


Against Your holy will





Oh, God, it hurts so bad to love anybody down here


Why don't You come and help me out?


Cause I can't even see clear





The funny thing about the way a girl gets destroyed


About the way that deal goes down


Is that everybody pretty much sees it coming at the sister


From all the way across town


And she isn't always blinded, she isn't always far astray


She just might not be thinking, she might be having a bad day


But when you choose, you choose, and when you drown, you drown





Last night I dreamed that You swallowed me into Yourself


And I was floating on the sea inside


When I landed on the shore, I saw all these people that I thought had died


I hadn't seen some of them for ages


They had left without a single word


And when I said something to them, not a single one of them had heard





They were all looking right through everything like it wasn't even there


Some were full of anger, some full of fear


And then I recognized that something very sad


But very beautiful was happening right here


They were all caught outside standing alone in a very heavy rain


And when a raindrop landed on my tongue


I didn't need You to explain


That these were Your tears





Oh, God, it hurts so bad to love anybody down here


Oh, that's right, You know so well


One thorny crown, three nails, and a spear
