lyrics

Just one touch and all the bricks will break in place
Pray for no wind as dust kicks this undeveloped land

I found a flashlight in the middle of the tunnel
It was on. Had it been left?
Curses and blessings sweat through my dress
Have I been left?

I found that flashlight in the middle of the tunnel and
It was on and I had been left
Cause it was nothing or the sun
I wanted him to go chest to chest with me and yet I was the one who kept going underground

But the lord of darkness shows his kindness
by pressing to your sternum what you thought you didn't need

The lord of darkness shows his kindness
By pressing through your chest
The lord of darkness shows his kindness
By pressing through your sternum saying

More weight
I give you strength for
More weight
I give you strength for
More weight
I give you strenght for
More and more and more
And more
I give you strenght for
More people
I give you strenght for
More children
I give you what was
Always Yours
I give you
Atmosphere
I give you strength of thousands
