Bethlehem

Oh, the past is in the graveyard
 Makin' stew out of the bones
 And a neighbor's gonna call the cops again
 Although it's better left alone
 In the sky, the birds are circlin'
 If I ask them to, will they
 Lead me to my grave?
 How does it feel
 To know the torch is in your hand?
 The smell of your skin
 Oh, it could make you sick
 Make you understand
 That the only word is fire
 And the only song is the
 "Singing of the Flame"
 ♪
 And if there's some revelation
 It isn't in my hand
 Oh, if there's some celebration
 I haven't heard the plan
 Oh, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
 Let me lose my head
 Let me cover my eyes in the ashes and blood
 Let me lie down and join the dead
 'Cause the best have no position
 And the worst are full of
 Passion and belief
 Full of passion and belief
 Under my head
 You know the dream is lyin' dead
 Under my heart
 Oh, where the breath begins, it begins again
 If you ask for me tomorrow
 I'll be in the sky, I'll be
 Blowin' in the wind

 And if there's some revelation

 Oh, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
 Let me lose my head
 Let me close my eyes in the ashes of love
 And in the light I'll join the dead
 'Cause the best have no position
 And the worst are full of
 Passion and belief
 I know it's passion and belief
 I met you at the cemetery's edge
 But it wasn't like you said
 The sun was down, the birds were gone
 I sat and waited with you for the dawn
