Top of the Hill (Phone Demo)

by Wesley Randolph Eader

lyrics

Let's climb to the top of the hill,
Let's see these old prophecies finally fulfilled

The Greeks and the Jews while fighting for Wisdom
Found their bodies and souls in separate prisons
Now the closer we come the farther we must go
And the Holy of Holies is filled with another god's smoke

Let's climb to the top of the hill,
Let's see these old prophecies finally fulfilled

Sartre and Camus while dining in Paris
Found the wounds of the world were absurd and careless
They gave us no answers 'cept a grave and a sculpture
Now the Kingdom of God is so lacking in culture

Let's climb to the top of the hill,
Let's see these old prophecies finally fulfilled

Man and machine down in the Silicone Valley
Were surrounded by Death but found refuge in the factories
They can't give a reason for what we're doing here
They can program new gods but never conquer our fears

Let's climb to the top of the hill,
Let's see these old prophecies finally fulfilled

My Lover and I, we stepped down from the Garden
We were naked with shame so we asked for a pardon
May pain bring us joy and labor bring rest
May these sorrowful songs always flow from our breath

Let's climb to the top of the hill,
Let's see these old prophecies finally fulfilled

True meaning is tied to the altar of faith
And like Isaac we tremble and helplessly wait
For the dagger to enter and break open our Being
Or to finally be saved by another One's bleeding

Let's climb to the top of the hill,
Let's see these old prophecies finally fulfilled
