Where was it that you said I was supposed to draw the line?
Before the ashes of good intent blot out every last inch of white?
These hands were built to repair our bridges that fell
But all I can hear is the blaring silence of the bells
And while I wear this halo upon my head
It seems my direction was mislead
I've burnt down what I set out to save
So often I've been misconstrued
But I never gave up for fear of what I might lose
Until the marble cracks, then what will I do?
I'll carve it into something new
I'll wear this halo upon my head
Though my direction was mislead
I burnt down what I set out to save
But I'll bring it up from the ashes
I'll bring it up from the ashes
I know I lost my rhythm and rhyme
I know I fell short so many times
But I can feel this energy on the rise
And this time
I think I can bring back our sunshine
So I'll wear this halo upon my head
I'll let my direction be misread
I'll wear this halo upon my head
I'll see this lake of fire to its end
Even after it burns down what I set out to save
I'll bring it up from the ashes
I can feel this energy on the rise
And this time
I'll bring back our sunshine
