Weary Ground

Keeping watch while the whole world sleeps (Listen close) Feel the earth toss and turn and weep (Hear its voice) A wearied ground opens up to roar (Hear it roar) "How much longer will this pain endure?" We're waiting for a better day The shadows gone, all things pass away Listen close and hear it say "We're cursed and we're dying" Hills shake and mountains quake (Mountains shaking) Earth's fires have come awake No words, but hear it speak (Hear it speaking) As the deep calls to the deep Beauty, beauty mixed with dread Hanging by a thread We're waiting for a better day The shadows gone, all things pass away Listen close and hear it say "We're cursed and we're dying" Skies wake, the heavens ache (Heavens aching) Thunder and lightning break O glory come, come like a thief (Like a thief) Bring us relief from grief Still on and on, we're waiting for the hour On an on, our cries are growing louder How long must darkness reign in a world so violent (So violent) While we toss and turn in pain, in vain, and it's still so silent Waiting, wait for what's ahead These tattered rags will be shed We're waiting for a better day The shadows gone, all things pass away Listen and hear it say "We're cursed and we're dying" Hills shake and mountains quaking The earth's fires have now awaken No words, but hear it speak "We're cursed and we're dying" "We're cursed and we're dying" (We're cursed and we're dying) --- Weary Ground - Wolves at the Gate
