Album: Down - Single
White as pearl you made me sing
Till I was beggar and you were the king
I found a devil down that hole
I lost my honor and nearly lost my soul
First time I met you blew my mind
Showed me your palace and there it was lined
My hell disguised as your Heaven
By my own hand you noose it tightened
(Chorus)
You know the first time I did it I swore I'd never hit it again
I dipped a toe in the water, before I knew it, it was all ten
You pulled me under, shackled legs of stone hoping I would drown
You took me to the mountain top, in the end you were only bringing me down
Lost in my obsession
A primal wonder with burning ferocity
My shame no longer withstanding
Your raging fire consumed all my dignity
Was I dying in my sleep
Dark forces pulling me down from where I lay
Came to with trepidation
A gasp of air, life was spared, my dreaded death was delayed
(Chorus)
You know the first time I did it I swore I'd never hit it again
I dipped a toe in the water, before I knew it, it was all ten
You pulled me under, shackled legs of stone hoping I would drown
You took me to the mountain top, in the end you were only bringing me down
(Quieres yeyo? Gringo, quieres yeyo?)
(Chorus)
I cried out He pulled me up from the pit, delivered me from my crime
You mud and mire couldn't hold me, your junkie wouldn't roll me this time
I had a new song to sing as He set my feet on solid ground
Blessed is the one who trusts in Him to no longer let you bring him down
